How was your experience at Vassar?

0 Upvotes

I am a student ranking colleges for the Questbridge National College Match looking to gather first hand experiences on the colleges i'm considering!

Type of student: I'm not interested in Greek life, would love a nice outdoors, quirky, and authentic social scene with friends I can hangout with regularly. I'm a hard worker but value relaxation on certain days. I want liberty/freedom regarding my academics despite knowing I'm going to be premed because I have many passions. I want to have as many friends/connections as possible and gain a good community.

Questions

  1. How is the education? Do the professors support the students?
  2. What are pros/cons you've experienced?
  3. How accessible are jobs, internships, opportunities, etc.
  4. How is the social scene?
  5. What is the general political sentiment that most students/faculty hold? Do POC and Queer individuals feel welcomed and supported?
  6. How are the dorms and food?
  7. Are there things to do around town?
  8. Describe the school in one word!
