<p>I have a couple questions about Saint Anselm College, which is, tentatively speaking, my favorite school at this point. But first a few disclaimers in terms of common concerns or complaints I read/hear about St. A's:</p>
<p>Diversity: I'm a white Christian male from Massachusetts, and I live in a suburb with very little diversity, so the lack of diversity at St. A's is something I'm used to/comfortable with.</p>
<p>Acceptance: I should get in, my GPA is 3:15 and my SAT is 2000. Not too concerned about this.</p>
<p>Cost/financial situation: Overall, my family is a pretty average middle class family. Obviously we will need some decent financial aid to pay for this, or any private school. I'm also hoping for, if not expecting, some good merit aid, since I'm an above average student for St. A's, and I got an 11,000 dollar yearly scholarship from Gordon College, my number 2 (as of now) school, which has slightly better academics and is more selective (40 percent acceptance rate compared to about 75).</p>
<p>Questions:</p>
<p>Grade deflation: Would this handicap me for law/grad school? I honestly don't expect to go that route, but you never know. St. A's claims there acceptance rates to grad school are similiar to similar schools, if not better due to the students being prepared. Me and my parents seem to agree that this is not a big deal, and if I work hard I'll get fine grades, probably similar to if I went elsewhere. But I'm unsure. I'd really appreciate alumnus feedback on this.</p>
<p>New Hampshire Institute of Politics: I'm going to major in politics, and I know the obvious bit, all my politics classes will be here, and it'll help with connections and internships because of all the notable people going in and out. Anything I'm missing here?</p>
<p>Finally, core curriculum: Is it true I could find a way around taking most math classes? Also, could anyone explain the humanities requirements, and do they handicap your ability to have a minor/double major, or have a social life or even sleep a normal amount?</p>
<p>Thanks guys I know this is really long</p>
