A brilliant eulogy. Too bad college is no longer this way - I wish my daughters could have experienced/be experiencing such a way of college life. Well, actually my 3L at Washington and Lee seems to have this type of caring/socratic thinking faculty, although I would say her time as an undergrad at SUNY Albany (State University of New York) was NOT like this.
Any recommendations for colleges that retain this atmosphere from FReepers out there for the fourth daughter? She is a freshman in High School, an honors students, and is relatively good at math and science.
I am taking my 17-year-old high-school-junior daughter up to Hillsdale College in Michigan for a campus visit in about a week and a half. Hillsdale has that kind of good reputation.
I work at the Naval Academy and the environment is most certainly like this. Although it is required that the Professors MUST do research and requirements for tenure, they do take students first and the expectations are very high. Missing a class is NOT authorized EVER!
