<p>What's the academic and social atmosphere? How big a factor is greek life? What are students like? How different from Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette?</p>
<p>I am a student at F&M. Let me start from the end of your post and work backwards.. First i cant really comment on how the students here differ from those at bucknell, leigh, and lafayette although i did also apply to lafayette and have a good friend that goes there who absolutly loves it. What are the students like well many students come from wealthier families and a lot of the students are just into themselves and fandm is very cliquish like people stay in their groups and dont really reach out. Greek life is huge!!!! If you dont drink and greek life isnt your thing then you are in for some pretty boring weekends. At one such frat party over 250 students received citations for underage drinking... That about a tenth of the school in the basement of one frat house. So the social atmosphere is centered around drinking and greek life plain and simple. Academics at fandm are more like high school how the professors walk you through everything and in terms of easiness. One plus about fandm is that the professors are soo very kind and go out of their way and genuinly care about their students. I hope I answered your questions satisfactorily. If not just put up another post.</p>
<p>Doughman - It sounds awful. High school - with alcohol. Are you planning to transfer?</p>
<p>Its a real dillemma because I have an academic scholarship here so I dont have any loans. Also I am within the top ten in my class in class rank, and thats ten people not 10%. I can also graduate in three years too because of AP credit and other college courses taken in high school. So its a toss up. Just make sure you dont go to a school because of the money. Money should be a secondary factor to why you choose a school. Choose a school that you will be happy at and then everything else will take care of itself.</p>
<p>Are you a freshman?</p>
<p>how is the town of Lancaster?</p>
<p>I am a freshman... Well lancaster is pretty much lancaster. Lets put it this way, Lancaster is not like Philadelphia. The park city mall is only a couple of miles from campus. There is a public transportation bus system you can take but the schedule is very confusing. Its nice to know someone on campus who has a car. Umm lancaster is pretty boring. There isnt too much to do. They say that they are building a minor league baseball stadium nearby somewhere although i dont where. Hope this helps.</p>
<p>DoughMan--how did you find out that you were accepted?</p>
<p>I applied regular decision but they sent me a letter in like october saying if i applied early decision they would give me money. I believe I also received a phone call around that same time too. So my acceptance was mailed to me.</p>
<p>DoughMan - I used to live in Lancaster so I know what you mean. It's very nice if you're a married Republican Presbyterian who works for Armstrong and likes to play golf. Beautiful, but a bit dull.</p>
<p>DoughMan, u r def. a pretty big herb. How do u figure all that?</p>
<p>im a herb?? whats a herb?</p>
<p>The White Paper gives you an idea of what President Fry has Planned.</p>
<p>Some of the things mentioned in it have already taken place, like the re-recognition of Fraternities and Sororities.</p>
