<p>in my vassar essay, i wrote about the self-instructional program in yiddish. then i realized that barnard had it too. hehe</p>

<p>Some of the friendliest people in America, a beautiful campus, close access to the city, and a well-rounded liberal arts education. Vassar is also a great name as far as grad schools and career prospects are concerned. All top liberal arts colleges are more or less the same with some swings in varous directions. I chose Vassar for its campus, its size and its emphasis on the arts.</p>

<p>I'm a Vassar alum and have visited the campus a few times over the past 20 years. While there have been several renovations and the addition of a state-of-the-art gym, some things... the really great things... remain constant: a music building that presents as a medieival castle, a library whose beauty can distract you from studying, pervasive mellow intelligence, and what I think is the most sooooo Vassar - the Main catwalks from which you can see the world's most awesome sunsets.</p>

<p>the catwalks are actually off-limits now.</p>

11

<p>what are the catwalks and why are they offlimits?</p>

12

<p>The catwalks are these little....catwalks on the roof of main. you used to be able to walk along them and stuff, but they closed them off to students a few years ago i believe, only recently. why they did so: i guess safety? i'm not 100% sure. I just wish they hadn't.</p>
