<p>Daughter is extremely interested in SLC. Her goal since elementary school was to write novels. She's editor in chief of school literary magazine JR and SR year. Also founded Literary club. Very liberal thinker. And extremely independant!</p>
<p>Please provided any insight into the school, the application process, life at SLC! Thanks!</p>
<p>bump..........</p>
<p>Hello, I have several friends who are SLC grads and they all loved it. From the liberal atmosphere to the easy access to NYC to the professors, it was a great experience.</p>
<p>My son would like to attend SLC, but the yearly price of tuition/Room/Board is now 53K. He'll apply but I do not have high hopes of tuition help as they offer no merit aid. </p>
<p>Best of luck to your daughter!</p>
<p>My S is a third year undergard at Sarah Lawrence. His concentration is theatre. He likes the school very much and I continue to be impressed by the quality of the written work that he produces in his non-theatre classes. The theatre productions are really excellent for college theatre. Most of his professors have been excellent (his worst professor taught creative writing, which was not his greatest interest). </p>
<p>SLC is an incredibly expensive school and S does not qualify for aid. The campus, while in an interesting, wooded, hilly spot, is not really well-maintained.</p>
<p>SLC was, and remains, my S's first choice for college. I liked several schools more but I'm not going (...just paying). He continues to say how much he loves attending.</p>
<p>Momray,</p>
<p>My D, also from VA, loved SLC. She graduated last year. Life at SLC involves writing, no matter what the concentration. Sounds like a made-in-heaven match for your D. Over 50% of the student body receives need-based aid. During my D's tenure the average aid package was about half the cost of attending. My D got a boost her last year when the school applied a scholarship intended for students from the Southeast, without her even asking or knowing about it. The conference system works and I hope, if your D goes to SLC, she'll share the evaluations from her professors with you. This is what a liberal-arts college should be.</p>
<p>Access to the City is easy and cheap. Buy the multi-pass for the train. The station is an easy walk from campus. I've done it often. Bronxville may be a small suburb but there's a shopping center just off campus so most needs can be easily met without a car. The campus is lovely. I don't know what others mean by "not well-maintained" but then most buildings are old. Where I come from we call that "character". The people who run the school couldn't be more supportive of the students and their needs, at least from what I saw. But then your D had better like small schools. It's hard to get lost or be anonymous at SLC!</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea about the anthropology program at SLC?</p>
<p>From what I have seen with SLC, kids either really like it, or really hate it. Don't know too many who say, "so-so". Do visit. Also check out Goucher, Sidmore, Bard.</p>
<p>Thank you for all your information. Daughter had an interview with someone from SLC admissions on Monday and was greatly impressed. (Interviewer really seemed to like her, too) She's so excited now to visit the campus.</p>
