Actually, SAGES replaces what was their first year requirements for English classes. It includes writing, selected readings, practical life-long learning methods, etc. It is taught by your first year advisor and is intentionally designed as a small discussion class so that students get personal faculty attention right off.</p>

I wonder how old that survey was. Two years ago Case brought in Bon Appetit, the same food service as UWash has; Bon Appetit is regarded as about as good as it gets for college dining hall food. FWIW, for off-campus food, CollegePr*wlerGuide gave Case an A. </p>

<p>Years ago, Case used to lock everyone into living on campus until age 21 and required them to have the meal plan. This is no longer true. The current meal card can be used at dozens of off-campus restaurants under a separate dollar account and you can reduce the dining hall meals to under 10 meals a week. Upperclassmen can live off campus now too.</p>

<p>I think a lot of the culture comes from the faculty. Most LACs like Wooster have talented, approachable faculty, but it seems the Wooster faculty culture has the profs lasering in on, and supporting, the academic needs and intereste snlightened suburban" As for the students, I'd describe a large number of Wooster kids as "earnest (vs. entitled) suburban."</p>
