  My daughter went to Colby. I did worry she would have a hard time fitting in as she was not an "outdoor" sporty person.  I didn't need to worry, there were plenty of clubs for people who liked to stay in rather than do sports.

  My son goes to Wesleyan. Great school with lots of connections on the buy side of high finance.

  Great content! All of these colleges seem to blend together when looking at them in paper and even in person. A few other videos like this could be comparing what's left of the Seven Sisters, the Hidden Ives, top state schools, to Catholic schools, Jesuit Schools... etc.

  I went to one of these schools and thought I had a good grasp on all of them. Turns out I learned a ton from this video! Thank you for the very detailed content.

  Thank you this video was so helpful! My daughter is a freshman now at Amherst on her first winter break and absolutely loves it! She did early decision and zero regrets :)

  Very helpful! Definitely put some new names on my college list to look into from this video. If you could make more detailed videos on the colleges individually that would be great too, also including Pomona if you can. Thanks :)

  Early decision is not a financial option for everyone.  Myself?  I attended college and law school while living in my VW van.  Studied for the bar exam (in my van) in front of a 7-11.  Had a blast!   I lived along the Mississippi River (Tulane) and slept in the parking structure (USC, Los Angeles).  Great memories (most of the time).

  I would love to see a video about some of the other highly selective private colleges outside the northeast like Rice, Tulane, Vandy, Duke, Wash U, etc.
