<p>What are some schools with working honor codes - not just trust in academic situations, but where they claim you can leave your dorm room unlocked, your laptop unattended, etc.?
thanks!</p>
<p>Haverford loves their honor code. But most small, cozy schools could CLAIM that. Whether or not it's true, is a whole different story.</p>
<p>It's not exactly what you asked for, but Rice's academic honor code is extremely strong and allows students to take tests to their dorms,etc. Possibly the best of its kind in the country (i hear caltech's is strong too). I think the students at Rice would also follow the not stealing thing, they are a pretty laid-back non-competetive bunch and people leave their dorms unlocked a lot, but beware of homeless people coming into your room (if you are on the first floor)!</p>
<p>connecticut college emphasizes their honor code. no one ever locks their doors</p>
<p>hillsdale college. apparently, kids just leave their backpacks laying around and noone ever has anything stolen.</p>
<p>At Haverford, they said they leave doors unlocked, laptops and backpacks unattended, and they confront each other in conflict. definately big on the honor code there.</p>
<p>UVA's a big one.</p>
<p>So are William & Mary and Washington & Lee, I believe.</p>
<p>The University of Miami has an honor code..
Dont let the whole unreal stereotype that the THUG U football program brings fool you...</p>
<p>Smith College and Bryn Mawr College.</p>
<p>What kind of fool would leave his door open and laptop unattended???? That's just silly....</p>
<p>Caltech and Princeton too</p>
<p>Vanderbilt Univ. has a formal ceremony at which incoming students sign an academic honor code pledge, so I gather the administrators take it seriously. I don't know about leaving rooms unlocked and laptops unattended, though; it is an urban campus, after all.</p>
<p>vanderbilt does it
w&l does it. they were lame about it. we got it. they kept talking about it.
davidson's libraries don't have the magnetic sensors! you can steal all the books you want and only you would know whoa!</p>
<p>Citadel used to have a pretty strict honor code but stopped it after Virginia Tech</p>
<p>Haverford and Davidson among small schools, UVa among larger ones (though I think the UVa one is beter at academic enforcement than social).</p>
<p>

<p>A student that attends a school with a strict honor code - that's the whole point. Only a fool would risk expulsion by stealing a laptop at a school like W&L with a strict single-sanction system. Is a laptop really worth that much?</p>
<p>I believe U of Maryland instituted an honor system a few years back, though I'm not sure if it is limited to academic integrity or extends to personal conduct.</p>
<p>If the OP is a traveling thief, he just learned a lot of places to get free loot.</p>
<p>A female traveling thief :D</p>
<p>anyways most schools mentioned are schools that are not the best places to steal in, not schools without honor codes ;)</p>
<p>besides just because there are Honor codes dosnt mean it eliminates thievery.. It can happen anywhere.</p>
<p>I second both Haverford and Davidson. They're serious about their honor codes, especially Haverford.</p>
