<p>An adult friend put this school on my younger daughter's radar.</p>
<p>As one poster indicated the website could be a tad more detailed.</p>
<p>Anyone know anything about merit aid parameters?</p>
<p>{Just as a post-script inquiry: is there a message board for RWU at CollegeConfid.?}</p>
<p>My daughter just finished her freshman year at RWU. Didn't love it.
We are currently looking at other schools. I believe they have a very high freshman trasnfer rate. It seemed like a perfect fit...small univ, on the water. but not happening. I do believe some of the problem is that she is one of the smarter students there. She is in the honors program and often mentions other kids just don't put the effort into their work like she does.
She got the 15,000 scholarship and it was based on sat's of 1350 or higher (just math/eng) and strong high school performance and volunteer work.
She said the drinking is out of control. I am guessing that is not unique to RWU.
Good luck.</p>
