I really like going to college at Earlham. It does have it's faults (as the scores show, the surrounding city is not the selling point), and some of the students can be arrogant or annoying (however, this is probably true for every college), but overall I think it is a great place. A majority of the students are friendly and intelligent, willing to have conversations with you until early in the morning. Also, the academics are good, overall. I have never had a terrible teacher, although there have been some who were only so-so. However, the college is very dedicated to giving its students a strong liberal arts education (if you are willing to work at it too, though), although I cannot speak for all departments (philosophy and biology, the 2 departments in which I have the most experience, are exceptional). Yet Earlham is not for everyone. It is not a huge party school, there are no frats or sororitys, and the surrounding city can be pretty boring (although there are ways to make your own fun in it). If either of those things is important to you, then Earlham is not your school. However, if you want a good liberal arts education- and are willing to work hard to get it- in a friendly and relaxing setting, i would reccomend applying.
