Surely you’ve picked up on a different vibe compared to URichmond?
In certain parts of New York City, Boston, and Los Angeles Wesleyan is considered very prestigious.
I’m not sure yet. What type of students belong to UR? And isn’t Wes stronger academically? I read on CC that Wes is strong in almost every discipline.
Wesleyan is extraordinary in terms of both prestige and academic environment/ opportunities. So is Vassar, if you should happen to be admitted.
But you have some other nice options, too, so where do you think you will be happiest? What campus environment suits you? Wesleyan and Skidmore are very different from Penn State and Richmond in culture! Penn State is gigantic, William and Mary is midsized, Skidmore/Wesleyan/Vassar are small.
Wes’s size is large in terms of LACs, which is a good thing to me. Brandeis’s undergraduate population is very small in terms of research universities. I wanna consider academics/opportunities/education/prestige first, and then quality of life.
