My daughter died at Bennington during her junior year because a window in a third floor dance studio shattered during a rehearsal for a dance class, and she and another student fell 20 feet to a brick patio. There was no bar across the floor-to-ceiling window. It was a piece of plate glass original to the building , built in the 1970's .

So, I rate "campus safety" as an "F-", and consider Bennington to be a college that changes lives. Not for the better. at $46,000/year.

Perhaps the self-absorption of the dance staff had something to do with neglecting to notice a dance studio window that was obviously not safe .

My daughter was a theatre major, preparing to direct a play. The theatre staff is excellent. She would have been an alum who really contributed something to the world.

It is also of great concern that there have been a number of suicides of students associated with Bennington, and the college could be proactive and have suicide prevention programs, but the administration has not taken helpful action on the situation. They choose to suppress the information.

My daughter had grown to love Bennington, and was in the process of using her time there well.She had worked for the admissions office and was on the judicial committee, and had been in Kenya, working with AIDS orphans during FWT, weeks prior to her unnecessary, preventable death.

Our hearts are forever broken because of neglect of building safety of the college.
