My comment may be a little off subject but it comes up in conversation with my wake buddies, all of us finished in the early 80's, when we talk about the cost of going to Wake. Very few out of our group have kids who went to Wake or are going to Wake. The two major reasons are the cost and the sense (at least the perception) that the faculty and their teaching, like almost other liberal art schools, are overwhelmingly liberal with little representation of those who disagree. I saw this recent study, which does not include Wake, but most of the liberal arts colleges that compete with us, are listed:

My kids have a few years before worrying about college, part of me would love to see them go to Wake but these two factors will probably bother me as well.
