Oof.

This guy is real, he goes by Mule

So the students basically have to opt into getting grades. So in my case, my roommate thought they were going to go to Brown and then realized they couldn't get grades out of Bennington. Also showed me that they did no research about what you need to go to grad school.

Lived with some kids after college who went to Bennington. Rather oblivious as to why it was hard for them to get into grad school without formal grades or transcripts. Didn't take having to work retail very well because they figured going to Bennington would allow them to slip into the academic track. They ended up stealing $300 from me as I was moving out because they could and it was their right or something.

Obvs not a cross section of every person who goes to Bennington, but that's who I will remember anytime someone talks about Bennington. I feel that if you're looking for info on the college before applying/your child applies, pick a different place unless you/they are going to be financially supported for the long term.

I kind of love that New England is where you go to learn there is no God. I assume it's the snow, dunks, and weed.
