Need feedback about Evergreen State College

Hi,

evergreen was one of the west-coast colleges my son checked out. I think it is one of those "love it or hate it" places, and that that it is either a really good fit for a kid, or they will know that it's just not them. It's a beautiful campus, and seems like it would be a great school if it were the right match for your kid. My son knew immediately it wasn't right for him - too quirky, not alternative in the way he is alternative, too far away from the city, the academic program was too vague - he needs more structure. My very superficial sense is that It seems like a good match for kids who are very self-motivated, confident in themselves, and who have independent in their personal tastes and progressive politically.. If you're familiar with the Colleges That Change Lives book/website, it's one of their schools, which to me is a very good recommendation.
