<li>what are the dorms like? nice compared to others? be specific</li>
<li>is the school food good?</li>
<li>what do people do there for fun?</li>
<li>any clear characteristic or truth about the school? (for example a response might be, all the asian kids and black kids hang out with their own race)</li>
</ol>
<p>dorms are really nice. they are near the top of the princeton reivew "dorms like palaces" list. the food seemed good. for fun, people do outdoors stuff or go to parties. tons of intramural sports going on. i dont know any clear characteristics. everyone was really nice and got along well.</p>
<p>I'd like to add another question:
5. How dominant are the Greek houses in setting the social agenda for the school? Do people have fun outside of frat parties?</p>
<p>anybody???????</p>
<p>the frats are a pretty big part of the scene, but they are different than at any other school i've visited. i went to my friend's frat and it was made up of kids who most likely wouldn't be in a frat anywhere else. really cool people. nevertheless, there is a lot of fun to be had outside of frat parties.</p>
<p>Any sense about how big the drinking scene is at Whitman? My d really has gotten turned off by the drinking scenes at some LACs. She is a pretty serious athlete, and ironicaly the athletes tend to be some of the biggest drinkers!</p>
<p>My friend told me it is not imposing.</p>
<p>She says on any given night there are a billion things to do, and thus drinking isn't mandatory or especially rigorous.</p>
