Just attended Junior Day this weekend. I had a hard time getting a feel for the student body. DD loves the small liberal arts college, but sensed that the school was on the preppy side, which she definitely does not like. She is looking for a school where students feel comfortable doing their own thing, and dressing however unconventionally they want. We met more prospective students than current students, so it was hard to get a feel as to what the student life is like. Could someone chime in to give us another perspective? Thanks!
Davidson is one of the quintessential preppy colleges. About 50% of the student body literally come from Prep schools. My oldest son is an alumnus and loved the place. Very serious academics.
Thanks! It sounds like a great school academically, but probably not a good social fit for my daughter.
