§ I · The real read

What it's actually like.

The bet

Net price of $13k/yr for a shot at a $43k first-5-year salary. Math out whether that works for you — it does for some people, not for others.

Getting in

If you get in

1,224 undergrads. Tiny. Every professor will know your name.

Where you live

Town setting — self-contained, social life mostly on campus.
