Contrary to the other review, you do not need to be rich, as the school has a large portion of its endowment allotted to financial aid, and the school is almost hypersaturated with liberal ideas and policies. Additionally, the campus is beautiful, the food good, the teachers really care about the students and are genuinely interested in them as people, the sports teams are generally some of the best around, and everyone is, if not friendly, then at the very least civil towards one another as the type of student who attends Nichols tends to be overall much more mature than your average teenager.
