<p>My cousin and her friends who got their PhDs earlier this year got jobs at Smith, St.Lawrence, Columbia, Amherst teaching…my sister managed to hold on to her job in finance…my other cousin’s held on to his computer software job…so I’d say it’s possible but pretty difficult right?</p>
<p>Random question: do scholarship kids join frats?</p>
<p>Sure, why not?</p>
<p>Aren’t joining frats expensive?</p>
<p>There are engineering jobs at NU…but CMU/Harvey is heaven for engineering firms</p>
<p>Finance/business jobs are hard to get
engineering doesnt run out of steam…
and besides visa restrictions in the financial sector are valid only for 2 years…</p>
<p>No idea, to be honest. I’m not into the whole Greek scene.</p>
<p>I’m a little afraid to go to a school where the Greek scene dominates.</p>
<p>I don’t particularly favour such schools, but I wouldn’t mind going to such a place if there is a sizable non-Greek contingent as well.</p>
<p>I doubt there are any school with a if-you-dont-join-a-frat=social-life-misery type of atmosphere</p>
<p>Vanderbilt?</p>
<p>All those southern places like Washington and Lee…</p>
<p>Vandy? You can very well survive w/o frats</p>
<p>Southern places…they just creep me out…especially the less known ones
I never searched those colleges closely anyways :p</p>
<p>Haha I’m not interested in them either. I’d probably be fine at Duke, WashU and Rice, but that’s the extent of my southern-ness :D</p>
<p>Oh Vandy is definitely doable without frats, I’d say</p>
<p>I love duke though i never applied…
I regret that :(</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll add that to my list of transfer colleges
Blaah</p>
<p>Small southern schools are supposedly very formal-formal…formal clothes during mealtimes, a lot of Jesus, a lot of conservatism. Is that even true? I liked Sewanee because it was sooooo pretty but the whole Southern school stereotype sort of turned me off.</p>
<p>I love Vandy…sigh…</p>
<p>True up to an extent, yes.</p>
<p>@prateek: Why transfer? Go in with an open mind, NU is fantastic!</p>
<p>Yeah it is actually.</p>
<p>I highly doubt Vandy is as extremely conservative as the others, like Sewanee. Vandy, like the other top southern schools, is much more well-known than the general populace and is consequently much more forward-thinking.</p>
<p>Isn’t it mostly white though?</p>
