I'm so excited for you, Ibby.

What a great time of your life.

Good luck! - get a bullet point list of things you want to cover. Yuo achievements both scholastic, and extra. Al that stuff that highlights why they need you.

Shawnee123 · 02-15-2009, 06:06 PM

Absolutely. Colleges thrive on successful students who add to the myriads of things that draw other students.

Keep us posted.

I think I knew this, but completely forgot until like, today...

Are you an all-women’s college? When did you go co-ed? Bennington has been co-ed since 1969; prior to that it was a women’s college from its founding in 1932. Today, the female-male ratio is approximately 65:35.

$200,000 for 4 years of a BA or BS? I don't think so.

Griff · 02-16-2009, 08:57 AM

Bennington is a beautiful town. Are you going to have a chance to visit these campuses?

richlevy · 02-16-2009, 09:21 AM

Congrats Ibram.

As to former all-women schools, we in the Philadelphia area have the former Beaver College, now Arcadia University.

It went coed in the late 1970's and is still 79:21 female/male.

BTW, here is the StudentsReview for Bennington.

Very cool Ibram, good luck! Get to know the professors in your major of study asap, they can be very helpful in and out of the classroom.

I'm pretty sure Ibram wasn't planning on asking you for a loan.

Bennington College has a nice campus, Bennington is far from a beautiful town. Well, about 20 minutes away from where I live. (which is a beautiful town)

Most of the college types don't venture into Bennington, but stay in North Bennington which is very nice. Actually up near the monument in Bennington is very nice and uptown. But the downtown of B is nicht nicht as Bruno would say.

I don't mean to scare the passengers so I will leave out some of the more sordid details about downtown B, but as I've said the campus is very nice, and is a nice place to spend 4 years and hang out with a lot of like minded folks immersing yourselves in the pursuit of whatever you are pursuing.

As colleges go, it is a lot of fun based upon the reports of friends, family, and colleagues who have either attended or taught there.

Griff · 02-17-2009, 06:38 AM

Ah, didn't realize the difference. I guess that is a good reason to visit.

DanaC · 02-17-2009, 06:53 AM

$200,000? wow. That's a lot of money. A worthy investment, but still...wow. :P

ZenGum · 02-17-2009, 07:19 AM

I'm glad we're straight onto the most important factor - male/female ratio.

No, wait, not everyone thinks that way... but that is what religious schools cater for

morethanpretty · 02-17-2009, 08:34 PM

Congrats Ib! I hope wherever you go, you love it.

Won't be that much because half way through his second year he'll be on double secret probation, have gotten two coeds & a full Prof pregnant, and had to flee the country.
