Anyone here go to a smaller private college?

Tulane and Rice are smaller privates?

My college was for those with larger privates.

I went to Loyola for a year before LSU (4 years at LSU) and also got my MBA at Loyola. During this time, I dated a couple of Tulane girls. I liked the feel of the Tulane groups - the kids were mostly all eastern/wealthy, lots of Jews as the stereotype goes.

I enjoyed their parties and discussions a lot more than the ones I had with my peers at LSU. More intellectual, political, etc. etc. Maybe this isn't a true apples to apples comparison, but it was my experience. They still partied a lot - but it was at uptown and swankier hotel bars instead of college dive bars like LSU. More house/apartment parties than LSU kids had, as well.

Also, a lot more drug use at Tulane - adderall both studiously and partying, coke, ecstacy, etc. There are pockets at LSU but it was far more mainstream at Tulane than it was at LSU or even Loyola (and WAY more openly discussed).

Oh, one other thing... At LSU even in the frat/sorority scene it seems more cutthroat socially. Guys (even "friends") will cut you off or cockblock you more than the Northeastern guys. Friends at LSU don't seem as generous with buying rounds, seem to "keep track" of who owes what, etc. very intently. Tulane kids are super fast to accept you into the circle (which seems counter-intuitive) and will include you in the rounds and not keep track. It seemed way more chill and laid back. I'm probably not giving a fair representation here but again - it was my experience. I just liked the Tulane crowd a ton.

thanks, pretty interesting.

Went to William Carey College in Mississippi to play soccer. It was alright. It's a private baptist college. Tried to say we had to go some worship services every Wednesday. It was a pass/ fail thing. I didn't pass

MC. Went on basketball scholly. Didn't really care for it.

The social dynamics and girls?

Sucked when I was there. I think it has improved some since..

My sister goes to Chapman, so I can relay what she has told me. A lot of these apply to most liberal arts colleges.

It is fun, but there really is a limited amount of like-minded people. Generally relaxed vibe though.

She's never been to a state school, but is considering switching to UGA after she gets her 30 hrs this semester. She doesn't really like the people and has a lot of school spirit, which they do not.

She went to a really good NO private school, and got lots of AP credit. She says the classes are very easy.

Hasn't gone to career services

Much more girls that guys, but she says the guys are all pussies over there (Orange, CA), and she has zero interest in them.

People looked down on her because she was from Louisiana when she tried to join sororities. Herself and another girlfriend from an extremely prominent New Orleans family tried to get into the same sorority, but got denied. They had more money, better grades, and about 10x more extracurriculars than everyone else in the sorority. Tri Delt begged both of them to join, and wanted to fastrack my sister to a leadership role. Actives and former members would randomly come up to both of them on campus and ask them to join (after they didn't pledge). They didn't because they didn't want to be tri delts, and are entertaining starting a Chi O chapter there.

No sorority or fraternity houses.

Sports are meh. People generally don't care about them unless they play or are directly linked to someone who does. Free sporting events.

Town is really nice, but surrounded by shite. Housing is God awful expensive.

centenary is half the size of my highschool (which is about a mile from centenary)

Didnt go to school there, but partied there a bunch. It was ok

Byrd, I'm guessing?

Rice has, what, 6,000 students total?! That's pretty small.
