<p>I’m trying to fill in some spaces MYOS left. the admin at Lafayette has been trying to reduce the frat scene for decades, with some success, I might add. But the athletics teams are springing up to take the place of the frats. It is at least a moderate party school. So is Rhodes despite the big city it’s in. F&M is of the same party rank, and not at all open-minded. Of schools where students love to learn, I wouldn’t pick any of these. Most of these are schools where students are grades-driven. Vandy, Hamilton, Grinnell, and Lawrence might be your best bet for finding a critical mass of kids who love to learn. I would add College of Wooster to your list for students who love to learn, but I’m sure there’s partiers there, too. You just can’t avoid these kids who go to college and end up partying two to three nights each week. I suggest you find out just how many liberals your child can tolerate, forget the fear of partiers, and search for schools where there is a critical mass of students who love to learn such as those i mentioned and Reed, Mount Holyoke, New College of Florida, etc.</p>
