Academics Are GREAT, Registration Can Be a Pain
Put simply, the academics at Whitman are absolutely phenomenal. Whitman first came to my attention largely because of its reputation for academic excellence, a reputation which, after three years here, I believe is well deserved. Although I came largely for the English Major (the English department is nothing short of spectacular), my experiences with other departments have been equally as amazing. Professors are always willing to get to know you on a one-on-one basis, and are always there to provide extra help if you need it in a difficult class. In addition to that, Whitman provides TONS of academic aid for students in need of a little boost, and for those in need of a challenge, you always have the ability to choose more difficult, intense classes.
The only downside that I can really think of is the registration process, which is at times frustrating. However, I take this with a grain of salt: registration is just a difficult thing to get through, and friends I have at other colleges have the same problems. That being said, although it is sometimes difficult to get into more popular classes, Academic Advisers are always there to help ensure you get into classes that will both interest you, and make sure you graduate on time.
Overall, a really great experience.
