W&L is beautiful, pristine in red brick and white columns with well-manicured lawns. The students are equally well-kept and look like a real Tea Partay-- some guys wear pink and madras with a touch of irony, but the campus has certainly embraced the prepstah look. Besides that, folks are generally motivated, whether it is to be an I-Banker like their daddy or to actually pursue some sort of liberal arts education. Students are intelligent, but hardly intellectual. Don't expect late night conversations over coffee about existentialism or that article you read in The Onion. Weekends are for outrageous frat parties where the beer, and often the cheap liquor too, flow freely. It's fun, really. The seasons are nice. The professors are good but not incredibly inspiring. The students are friendly and self-assured.

W&L is a nice school with nice people, but it's hardly politically correct or diverse. Don't expect rallies or protests or the drag shows popular at other little liberal arts schools.

This person who posted the comment below mine is a completely ignorant idiot... he has never been to this school before and thinks he has it figured out. It takes 2 years at least to fully understand the place, and hes retarded to think he knows whats up goin into it, having never even lived there. theres many upsides and downsides to w&l, its far from perfect. but nice work MR.super brilliant, i beat you by 100 points on the SAT by the way, dumbass.
