Strong in classics and poly sci. This college forces you to learn how to write well. Good study abroad options. Pre med is good but not open to all. Natural sciences are weak. Pretty campus but so what? Social life is boring unless you are an athlete. College is obsessed with social justice and volunteerism seems more important than academics. Hard to adjust coming from a public high school outside of New England background. Student body and professors tend to be too liberal - but it is in mass after all.

Question
BrightUndecided
This school is a big show. Constantly work is being done around campus to give off a certain impression that we are a better school than we actually are. The kids are very unfriendly or completely fake. Everyone is in it for themselves and would shove you under a bus in a nano second. Departments are unhelpful and will rarely answer emails. The absolute worse is the housing department. Never have I met more incompetent people in my life. Our enrollment system is faulty and many students are not able to take classes they want and even though the system has been proven to have faults they will not change it. Dorms are falling apart and the school overbooks and does not have enough housing for everyone (hence why they push you to go abroad for full year. My profs were very average and in half my classes I have felt I have learned nothing.Nothing to do on weekends, unless you enjoy sitting in rooms with the same people drinking or binge watching entire series on Netflix. If I had it to do over again I would not come here. It is an oversized boarding school.
