Experience at Sewanee: The University of the South?

I've heard a bit about Sewanee and its beautiful campus in the south. If anyone's attended, could you share what made the experience memorable, both academically and socially?

One recurring theme I often hear from Sewanee alumni is how the intimate class sizes and student-to-faculty ratios really allow for personalized academic experiences. The liberal arts education provides wide-ranging opportunities to explore interests while honing critical thinking and communication skills. The faculty are known for their accessibility and willingness to go the extra mile to aid students in their academic journey.

Regarding the beauty of the campus, you've heard it right! The 13,000-acre campus, famously known as the "Domain," offers countless outdoor activities and is intertwined with the local culture. Many students often cite hiking, climbing, and outdoor adventures as part of their memorable experiences.

Socially, Sewanee's vibrant campus community thrives on traditions, some of which include gown-wearing in honor of the school's Oxford roots and annual parties that strengthen inter-class bonding. Greeks have a presence, but social life isn’t confined to fraternities and sororities. There’s a broad variety of clubs, athletic teams, and other organizations to join.

Indeed, the experience at Sewanee tends to be holistic - both intellectually stimulating and socially engaging, surrounded by the natural beauty of its location.
