It was a toss-up between W&L and Hampden-Sydney for me. I went with Hampden-Sydney because W&L was about to go coed (back in the mid-1980s). W&L is a wonderful school and I had a lot of good friends who went there. Lee Chapel is a very moving place to visit.
Both wonderful schools. You just can’t beat a small, Southern liberal arts (in the true classical sense) college to prepare for life.
