Vassar College Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Brittany

There are a lot of intelligent individuals who will challenge you to think hard about yourself and the decisions you make in your life. The professors also challenge students in this sense, too. Great thinkers emerge on campus and will surprise you with what they have to say about even the smallest of topics. Also, one can really blossom into the person they want to be while on campus.

All of the kids I've met at my school are so different.. and not in the ways one would expect. Although it's true that Vassar is pretty ethnically diverse, it also attracts a lot of different personalities. It's really refreshing to be among people who are motivated to study, but not necessarily for the grades. They just really like the material, or the professor.. and they're not pretentious about it either.
