Personal Comments
There are the special study options that always interest me: honors programs, independent study, internships, student-designed major, study abroad, etc. It's ranked 27th for liberal arts colleges in the U.S. The computer science department seems very solid and covers a lot. But, there is a major frat and sorority scene and not a lot of diversity. :(
