Vassar College Top Questions

Someone who is not willing to put the time in effort into their work will not succeed at Vassar College. The classes here really require for you to show up and pay attention. The classes are small enough that you absence will be noticed. If you aren't committed to getting a better education this is not the school for you.

Social conservatives will likely feel out of place, as Vassar is a very socially liberal environment.

A very conservative person would not enjoy this campus. Likewise, anyone with a strong aversion to homosexuality, environmentalism, or anything designated "liberal" would hate it here.

People who are not open to diversity should not attend this school because Vassar is quite liberal (and politically correct). There is very little tolerance for racism and homophobia. Those who wish to flaunt off their wealth should not attend this school either, since overt displays of one's elite status (weather social or financial) are non-existent.

Within Vassars cultural and social communtiy, someone who is not open to new ideas should not attend this school. While that may sound like an obvious answer for any school, I say it because the only way to function in this liberal environment is if you are completely accepting of everyone's quirks. S tudents also learn new things off of the inspirations they get from other people. All together a Vassar student is their own individual, while continuing to interact in the surrounding atmosphere. One that is not right for this school may be less liberally and individually driven.

Someone that could not attend Vassar would be an overzealous conservative who is close-minded and discriminatory; or someone that is unmotivated and hates to read; or it could be someone that only likes city life and can't stand smaller towns; or someone who hates to participate in class; or someone who wants to be an architect and wants to only go to school for 5 years; or someone who wants to be in a professional musician and has no other ambitions; or someone that really really hates parties.

One who is smart, open to new ideas, and who takes their wrok seriously, but not to the point where it engulfs your life. People at Vassar are serious, but still know how to have a good time.
