<p>Here is a great example of the culture at Vassar. We attended the swim meet last Saturday and 6-7 members of the Vassar swim team (in their swim gear) sang a beautiful 4 part harmony arrangement of the National Anthem at the start. Not many colleges have seven D3 athletes on their sports team willing to sing the National Anthem in 4 part harmony. Fun!</p>
<p>Another example of culture at Vassar that we have witnessed: The orchestra concerts are filled with students, fiends, parents , faculty, community people and the college president attends every concert. Everyone is cheering and the vibe is great - all just there to enjoy an excellent concert. Vassar is building a new science building and a huge adjacent farm.</p>
<p>We attended Swan Lake at Skidmore 2-3 years ago and the vibe was similar - sold out performance - lots of cheering.</p>
