He cares more about Individual Value than the average student.

Although there were some good professors, Knox was the worst experience of my life. Claiming to be a liberal school with a rigorous education, Knox is nothing more than a frat farm--nearly half the student body is in a frat or sorority--rife with mean, drunk, clicky, close-minded, and intolerant individuals. Galesburg, Illinois, being the conservative racist place that it is--feels like the Alabama bible belt, full of churches and lawns waving confederate flags-- doesn't provide the student a good get away from the "Knox bubble" on campus. Also, when I was there, campus food was a health hazard. To top it all off, the dean, Xavier Romano, is an enthusiastic former frat boy who cares more about Greek expansion than quality food, let alone education. No matter how brilliant one's teachers are, Knox allows conformists to "grow" or "find one's own way" while leaving individuals ostracized and helplessly sad. Knox today is a far cry from the Abolitionist school that it once was. Instead of promoting tolerance, acceptance, and solidarity, Knox's environment compels students to be divided and mean to each other. To open-minded students who want to be happy, Knox is a no go zone. Don't be fooled by the propaganda they send you in the mail!
