Someone posted comments regarding Reed vs. Beloit. I honestly expected it to be Todd's mother or my sister. NO! It was an anonymous mom who has a son at Reed and a daugther at Beloit. Oh my goodness. This anonymous mom made me feel much more comfortable regarding Beloit. I went back to the Beloit website and watched the You Tube student interviews.
One comment that this "insane mom" made is that Beloit teaches for the "real world." Most schools do not acknowledge reality/practicality when they are teaching theory. That was my experience and Todd's as well. Another comment that she made is that Beloit is great for students with many interests. Colleges generally guide students into a discipline rather than being inter-discplinary. At Beloit you can earn a double-major with a minor, a major and a double-minor, or just the basic major. Heck, if you're motivated enough, you could probably pursue a double major and a double minor.
Christopher would be as comfortable in an English, Art, or Music class as he would a Biology, Chemistry, or Physics class. I could really see him earning a degree with majors in Anthropology and Chemistry with a minor in Music. I think Pher may actually be able to find some of his left brain & right brain dominant cohorts at this campus. I also read somewhere that being different is normal at Beloit. One student played ping-pong because is wasn't cool and he went on to win a championship just to make his point. Sound like anyone we know?
