"Marlboro College offers a student-centered approach to education that is structurally and culturally different from other colleges. Unfettered by generic course requirements, each student works with their faculty advisor to choose an individualized course of study. For graduation, seniors complete a self-designed Plan of Concentration that is reviewed by an outside evaluator who is an expert in the student's field."


Mark, the Director of Admissions, has been very cordial and communicate during the process. The first time we spoke he interviewed me over the phone about my life and interests etc. He said the admissions committee even googled my name and found the "You just got schooled..." poster, which impressed them greatly. He told me that this morning at the meeting they were very concerned about my ability to continue cultivating my passions. "I sure hope our gym is big enough for her," they said.

Yeah, this is pretty much awesome. Fall in Vermont takes my breath away.
