Whitman College Students Tell It Like It Is

Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to Whitman
* Every student is a nerd . . . really-though the school pretty much attracts nerds, so most people feel comfortable.
* Academic work is very demanding.
* The frats and sororities have a strong presence on campus.
* Winters are brutal and seem longer than they are.
* Allergies are a big problem in spring and summer.
* Rush if you're a guy (even if you don't intend to go Greek), skip most of it if you're a girl-guys go paint-balling, river rafting, and have BBQs, whereas the girls have tea parties.
* Get on the cheapest meal plan possible.
* Alcohol has a very strong presence.
* The student body, racially, really isn't diverse.
* Sign up for a rock climbing class early-they fill up fast.
* Astronomy is a great class to take to meet science requirements in distribution.
* Don't go to the library during finals unless you want to balance socializing with studying.
* Walla Walla feels confining and small much of the time.
