<p>Go to the schools web site and check out the clubs, newspapers, literary magazines, etc. They will give you a good initial feel of the campus. Of course, the best way to actually spend some time on campus yourself. Visited Beloit with DD this fall, and there is definitely a diverse group of students that seem to take great glee in marching to the beat of a different drummer. It is not in an urban area, and the student body is fairly geographically spread out. I don’t think it is a “suitcase” college. Will be visiting Knox in a couple of weeks so will be able to provide better information after that.</p>
