Vassar College

Date: Sep 22 2008
Major: Linguistics (This Major's Salary over time)
I learned more about writing in one month of newspaper work than I did in four years at Vassar.

Vassar is a finishing school. A fine place if you come from money, and are heading back into it. But woefully inadequate at preparing anyone else for a career.

I blanch at the homophobic comments by many of the negative reviewers. I was quite content with the social mileu at the time. But the academics were completely forgettable, and the facilities abysmal.

High school students: avoid Vassar like the plague. Unless you are so motivated that you would get something out of any school in the world, Vassar will only disappoint you.
