The arrogance and insecurity of several large state schools concentrated into a student body of about 400. No other college is like Simon's Rock. Other colleges do not contain children who dropped out of high school and want to believe the college that excepted them is a prestigious school, that just happens to be "self-selecting"(in reality the minimum requirements to attend src are rich parents, half a brain, and completing the application process).

The school compensates for having admissions standards lower than community colleges with a required series of classes which consist entirely of stereotypical intellectual classics. The credit won't transfer anywhere, but it makes the kids look smart. The academics aren't particularly challenging, so long as you can handle writing and discussing in place of multiple choice and memorizing. If you excel academically at Simon's Rock you can transfer wherever your want. If you get bad grades, your screwed. Give a school more than what most Americans make in a year and they give you a clean slate.

Some staff members are genuinely concerned with teaching. Some are unbelievably supportive and caring. Others give grades largely based on how much they like your political beliefs and overall personality. Most of the faculty are a mix. Professionalism is pretty optional. Especially for the control-freaks who have somehow secured some of the most powerful positions on campus. These people(whose names don't even need to be mentioned for anyone at src to know precisely who I am talking about) seem to be entirely unconcerned with the well-being of students up until pissed off parents call or an emergency possibly requiring an ambulance or police car.

Maturity is lacking. Some of the most stubborn, close-minded people I have ever encountered are Simon's Rock students. Gossip and attempts at getting people in trouble with authority are absurdly common. People don't necessarily end up here, cause they are ready for college and specifically liked Simon's Rock. They mainly just hate high school.
