[edit] Slight advertorial tone
It's not too bad, but as an outsider reading this article randomly, there are one or two places where this reads more like a sales brochure than an impartial encyclopedia article. For example, this - "Its relatively small size enables the College to foster a lively sense of community within which is expressed a concern for each person" - looks as though it was lifted straight from some advertising material.
Regardless of the above, the article definitely needs better referencing. Only one link other than the college's own is rather poor, and inline citations are badly needed (eg for the US News & World Report ranking). I've therefore added a {{refimprove}} tag. 217.33.74.203 (talk) 12:18, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
