Mac Baren staple tobacco
This tobacco is certainly the most known Mac Baren blend. It is a very good and satisfying puff. While opening the pouch or tin a whaft of something that reminds me of honey hits my nostrils. The tobacco is easy to pack, but bit chunky sometimes so better rub it a bit just to make sure. Treat this gentlemen properly, giving it short and steady puffs, so you will get the most out of it and without heating up your pipe. Aroma is soft and mellow. Not overpowering...One of my fave pipe tobaccos to date. I do not give it all stars becuase these are left to a few English blends which are remarkable.
Classic Nutty One
This is what I call a tricky weed.
Mac Baren Mixture Scottish: a mild aro that works with the natural leaf nicely
I've been smoking Mixture from a bulk purchase I packed into small Mason jars more than a year ago. The Mac-Baren website states that "Mixture is made from more than 35 different tobacco leaves from different parts of the world." Where does one start to describe a blend so incredibly complex? They offer some help: "The loose cut tobacco in Mixture is light, sweet Virginia", and "pressed Virginia and Burley tobacco has been added, which after a meticulous pressing process is carefully loosened up", which accounts for the small bits of broken flake scattered throughout this olio. A loose cut Cavendish and carefully balanced aromatic top flavor completes the blend. There are two more statements from the website that I find especially true: "Mixture does not consist of one dominant taste, but a profusion of different nuances of flavor that keep changing," and it is "a mild tobacco with good body without being strong."A bowl of Mixture starts out as a robust Burley-forward smoke that is truly nutty – creamy-nutty; but it quickly settles into a nice balance with the citrus and wine-like flavors of the Va. As if you didn't already figure it out, this is a very complex blend, and one can smoke pounds of this stuff exploring all the different flavors it generates. At one point or another in your adventure with this blend you can find various types of sweet tastes, ranging from sugar to honey to cane to caramel to molasses. This all happens while your taste buds delight in various Virginia characteristics: from fruity to wine-like to grassy; from mildly sharp to zesty, piquant or tangy. And the nutty, creamy Burley is always in the background providing the body and support for this delicious blend.Mac Baren's signature Cavendish plays a big role in Mixture's flavor matrix, and I can't begin to speculate how it works with and against the other leaf. It is nothing less than amazing that such variety can integrate so well yet retain such clarity and brilliance, for each flavor nuance makes an appearance and then recedes like an actor on stage. The Cavendish is no doubt responsible for some of the sweet flavors and darker tones that appear in the blend; but I think that it also brings the flavor to the brink of a butterscotch taste without ever resolving it definitively. That is what keeps me coming back puff after puff, trying to parse it out – teased, delighted, and always intrigued.Mixture has great body and delivers a wonderful volume of smooth, chewy smoke. The nicotine level is moderate; it smokes cool, dry, and bite free; and has a pleasant room note. This is one mild aromatic that works with the taste of natural tobacco leaf quite nicely.

Reykjavik, Iceland + Add a trip
People on Dopplr have been to these places in Reykjavik
Q&A for Reykjavik
Dopplr asks "Where's good to stay in Reykjavik?"
Dopplr asks "Where's good to explore in Reykjavik?"
Getting There
A car is an advantage if you want to explore the otherworldly volcanic landscape beyond the city. Roads are uncrowded but sudden severe weather conditions and unsurfaced dirt tracks can quickly turn an excursion into an adventure. It's best to organise trips out of town with a local tour company, otherwise your best bet is a hire car from Hertz at Keflavík Airport (+354 425 0221) as Smith cardholders get a ten per cent discount at Hertz. Go to www.hertz.co.uk for more details, and quote '635230' when reserving.
Keflavík airport is 35 miles from the city centre. The 50-min Flybus service meets incoming flights and costs ISK 1,150. The driver will deliver you to the door of your hotel in Reykjavík. A taxi from the airport is an expensive option, costing at least ISK 7,500.
There are no rail services in Iceland.
Local Knowledge
354 is the country code.
101 Reykjavík by Hallgrímur Helgason; Independent People by Hallðór Laxness. The celebrated sagas are not just heroic tales of feuding Vikings, raiding parties and hidden gold; they are a living tradition and a cornerstone of Icelandic culture. Hermann Pálsson's translation of Égill's Saga is one of the best.
Do go / Don't Go
In the height of summer the sun hardly slips below the horizon. If the mood takes you, the long hours of sunlight make it possible to play golf in the middle of the night. Winter is the complete opposite, with long hours of darkness, but perfect conditions for snowmobiling and dog-sledding.
The seafood is so good that Iceland fought the Cod War against Britain in the Seventies to protect its fishing grounds. The fresh langoustine, herring and salmon are delicious. The national delicacy of hákárl (putrefied shark meat) is strictly for gastro adventurers only.
The city centre is comfortably walkable. Taxis are relatively inexpensive for short journeys though they can be scarce in the small hours. The main taxi ranks are located on Lækjargata and opposite Hallgrímskirkja church.
Tipping is practically unheard of in Iceland; it could even be regarded as vaguely insulting. A service charge is automatically added to most bills.
Icelandic króna.
Iceland's weather is notoriously unpredictable but you can always warm up in one of the many geothermally heated hot pools. Pack a thick jumper and some swimwear - although you'll only need the latter when bathing. The smell of wet wool ain't so sexy.
Worth Doing
Kjarvalsstaðir Art Gallery on Flokagata displays the collection of Johánnes S. Kjarval (1885-1872), Iceland's most celebrated landscape artist. Kling and Bang on Laugavegur is a modern art space with exhibitions by young Icelandic artists (www.this.is/klingogbang). Hotel 101 on Hverfisgata has its own excellent gallery a few doors down the street. Unfortunately the infamous Phallological Museum, displaying over 150 penises from Icelandic land and sea mammals, has moved to northern Iceland - much to the relief of the local wildlife.
Undoubtedly tourist, but definitely worth a visit, is the Blue Lagoon; the country's most visited attraction. The warm, milky-blue water is said to have curative properties, even if it actually flows from a near-by geothermal power station. The lagoon is between Reykjavik and the airport so it's a great place to relax before your flight home (www.bluelagoon.com).
Kisan on Laugavegi is a charming French-Icelandic-owned boutique selling homewares, books and children's clothes. Right next door, Trilogia doubles as an exhibition space and shop selling the work of Icelandic and northern European designers. Naked Ape on Bankastræti sells brightly coloured handmade t-shirts and clubwear and hosts parties; it even offers hairstyling services. Pick up some Icelandic music at 12 Tónar on Skólavörðustígur, where the staff are always on hand to recommend their favourites.
Take the lift up the tower of Hallgrímskirkja church for a super view of the city. On a clear day, if you're lucky, you can see as far as the Snæfellsness glacier of Jules Verne fame.
Reykjavík's far-northerly location makes it a great place to see the Northern Lights. A cold, clear winter night is the best time to watch the ghostly swirls of red and green traced across the sky.
February The Winter Lights Festival helps perk up the city after several months of long, dark nights. With sunrise in winter not much before midday you can't blame the locals for getting excited. 17 June Independence Day parades, music and dancing to celebrate Iceland's independence from Denmark in 1944. 21 June The Summer Solstice Festival sees traditional Viking celebrations marking the longest day of the year. August Menninganótt 'Cultural Night', with music and fireworks late into the night. Late September-early October Reykjavík International Film Festival (www.filmfest.is). October Iceland Airwaves is an incredibly popular music festival showcasing Icelandic and International artists (www.icelandairwaves.com).

I've personally had good luck with this repair into aluminum, BUT I'd definitely recommend usage of the proper torque wrench on re-installation of the bolts!

This is a perfect way to exercise for someone with bad knees. Even if all you can do is petal with your arms, you are still getting some type of exercise. You can use it in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace.

This is a great way to exercise. It's compact and light weight. Even my 92yr old mom can work it with no problem. She sits most of her day watching TV, now she can exercise a little without having to leave her bedroom or even leave the house. I'll use it too! Great product.

Not Great but Does the Job
By Birdyjj

About Me Practical
I was looking for something I could do while seated due to some physical limitations and this does the trick. I was surprised that it came completely unassembled as there was no mention of "assembly required" in the catalog. Once assembled it was necessary to modify the base with some slip-proof material to keep it from sliding away while being used. But, once it was secure in place, it does a great job and is easy to use.

About Me Out of Shape, Practical
Inexpensive, and it will give you a chance to see if you really enjoy this type of exercise. It is flimsy and will scoot across the floor if you don't put a rubber mat underneath. Pressure screw does not tighten very well. It must be assembled with confusing directions with very tiny screws, nuts and bolts requiring a tiny wrench. But....I really enjoyed pedaling and will now purchase a much sturdier one.

About Me Health Conscious, Not into exercising
This is a neat little device to use while watching TV or reading. Good for a person who does not do formal exercising. Because it is so lightweight, I put a heavy book in front of it on the floor to keep it in place. I like the fact that I can easily bring it to another room to use it. Can't do that with a treadmill! and you can't beat the price.

At their March meeting, The Rotary Foundation Trustees continued to find innovative ways to reduce expenses with their decision to change the Paul Harris Fellow recognition award from the current padded cover to a heavy paper folder. This will save US$125,000 annually, making more financial resources available for the Foundation's humanitarian and educational activities.
All Paul Harris Fellow certificates will be issued in the new folder beginning 1 August.
Paul Harris Fellow recognition, established in 1957 in honor of Rotary's founder, expresses appreciation for a $1,000 contribution to The Rotary Foundation. Rotarians may also designate a Paul Harris Fellow to recognize another person who supports the Foundation's mission of building world understanding and peace. More than 1.3 million individuals have been named Paul Harris Fellows.

I haven't done a review in a long time, so I figured I would pop my cherry again on a pretty decent game.
This time around I am reviewing Star Wars Republic Commando. I really enjoyed this game the first time around, but I don't really see myself playing through it again. Not that it is a bad game, that is not the case, it is an awesome game. It is just one of those games that even with multiplayer doesn't have a lot of replay value, but we will get to this later on.
The graphics of the game are not anywhere as good as Halo 2 or anything like that, but this game is incredibly detailed and very visually stunning. The main characters of the game are very detailed down to the point that you can even see battle blemishes in the armor as time goes on. The one big gripe about that graphics is that some of the enemy models are a little...bland, and some of the environments are REALLY bland. Luckily they go by pretty fast.
The sound in the game is pretty crisp. No real twang or static, that I could hear. The gun fire sounds awesome, and the sound effects are surprisingly good. When your squad is running in formation you can hear all of their footsteps and the echo they make through each room. The little things like this make for a good auditory environment.
Game play:
As I said before I don't see myself playing through this game again, but it is not a bad game. It is just one of those games that really, once you have played through it the first time there is nothing that you haven't done or seen to motivate you to do a second run. The game can be played a couple of different ways but it is not that big of an aspect and very un-motivating. Aside from that this game is an awesome attempt at a squad based shooter for these first timers. From the get-go the player gets this complete feeling of teamwork and through the entire game that feeling last. Usually with games like these the A.I. teammates are off trying to clip through a wall while you are left to gun down everything in the room. This is not the case with commando. Your A.I. teammates ACTUALLY DO THEIR JOB. I know this is a strange concept with these kinds of games but it is true. On top of that, some of the time, your teammates will be saving your ass as they bring you back to life with the special paddles that everyone is equipped with. Now your team A.I. is on par, but I really can't say that for the enemy A.I. A usual encounter with any of the enemies in the game is them running straight to you either trying to clip through you or just gunning you down. Due to the way the controls are set up you will find yourself being gunned down before you can line up a clear shot at the guy because as you move back they move right in front of you just out of your line of vision. The more you walk back or to the side or whatever they more they follow you, right on your ass. Secondly the player is equipped with this awesome gun that can morph into a grenade launcher, a sniper riffle, and an automatic machine gun but you get such a limited amount of ammunition for it that you are usually using your hand gun. This wouldn't be so bad because it has unlimited ammunition, but it has a charge system so the more you use it the less damage it does and eventually it won't fire until you let it recharge. This really sucks when you are in a do or die firefight. On top of that more than half of the weapons in the game are really useless. There are one or two guns in the game that you will be sticking with for the whole game. The other guns are nice and have some flair, but they either do to little damage, or you can never find them. The one thing that I absolutely loved about this game was the way they gave each member of the squad a unique personality. And on top of that gave them each a different color schemed uniform without compromising that squad feel.
Bottom Line:
Bottom Line if you like Star Wars games, and want to get a completely different perspective on the star wars universe, one that is not through the eyes of a Jedi than I would say get this game for sure. If you are a normal every day Joe I would say rent this one. This is an awesome game, but lack of replay value hinders my buy recommendation.
I give this a 7 out of 10. Awesome game, but the A.I. is annoying and the game needs a lot of polishing to be perfect. The squad A.I. is better than in Rainbow Six which helps make this game even more enjoyable.

This game has great graphics and sound, but the gameplay is absolutely brain-dead. The levels are all linear. Go to point A, shoot bad guys, go to point B, shoot more bad guys etc. And it doesn't even let you figure out the best way to use your squadmates. It shows little "ghosts" where your guys should be. You just click on them and your squadmates move to the spot and do what they need to. No thinking required whatsoever.
If you want a good squad-based combat game get Freedom Fighters, as Republic Commando is, sadly, an incredibly wasted opportunity. I guess they were afraid they'd alienate their "audience" if they made the game even the slightest bit cerebral.
Rent this one if you must. It's short, you can complete it in a weekend while napping. Don't waste money buying it. It might have been more fun if you could play through it in co-op mode, but its 1 player only in the campaign.

Graphics are good, sound is neat and the gameplay has some flaws. Also, the game in general feels a bit claustrophobic. There are a few good points in the game which have enough space, but the rest of the game feels like you are always pinned down between two walls.
Another point: the game is pretty linear. You go from point A to point C through tunnel B. This isn't very depressing with the first playthrough, but it doesn't add anything to the replayability.
My last short point: why, OH WHY no cooperative multiplayer (split-screen
system link)!? This game is perfect for it! The members of Delta Squad always move together from one relatively small area to another one. Coop with four players would be neat. The difficulty would have to be tweaked up, though.

I enjoyed this one. I thought it was a nice twist and a very great use of some low ranked characters in the Star Wars universe. I would rent this if you are not a fan because it is rather short. I am not a huge fan of Star Wars but I would give this game a 8.8 out of 10

It was WAY too short for me to like it. The sounds were pretty cool and the graphics were standard but the levels were shit and bland. I liked it at the start for about 5 minutes and started growing bored of it straight away. I would give this 6 out of 10

when i first played it, i didnt like it. but i loaded it up again, and i never looked back. i agree with the fact that it puts a more gritty spin on the starwars story. as time progressed, i felt like the team became a family. and i wasnt prepared to leave a man behind! top stuff in my opinion.
but...but...not very much replay value...once uve finished it, u wont go back. could have been longer

Good game it had potential to be even a better though. I can't understand for the life of me why you didn't have co-operative play or system link. It pretty poor how you were only on Geonosis, Clone Frigate and finally Kashyyyk. I agree with monkey86 you did feel like a family as I wouldn't leave my troops plus they acted as cannon fodder while you were getting attacked.

i'm a big starwars fan throw anything from it and i'm going to catch it... but this game failed to stun me though... cooperative concept could lift this game up (maybe)... it plainly gave me a ride directly to boredom...

Categories Comments Campus Safety we have patrolmen roaming around 24/7 but the general idea is shared by everyone; do to others what you want to be done to you. everyone respects other's property and there are rarely any thefts or fights on campus.
Greek Life 8 fraternities here at wabash. all national. all great. parties are going on most weekends at at least one of the houses.
Clubs and Activities always an option for anyone.
Great for these types of students athletes. intellectuals. and everyone in between. this is perfect place for all men.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus chapel sing. where all houses's freshmen, fraternities and independents, go onto the mall and sing the school's fight song for 45min to see who can do it without messing up. winners get serious bragging points and 45 points for homecoming competitions.
Bang for the buck wabash overall is a great environment to be in. the whole atmosphere is happy and relaxing. everything about it is just gives me a good feel.
What to do for fun any sport here is fun. attending the sports games. partaking in clubs such as ultimate frisbee, cooking club, medieval martial arts, spanish/french/german etc.
Food and Dining our cook's food is delicious but can get a little repetitive. she is always open to suggestions.
Dorm Life living in a fraternity house my first year i think is much better than living in the dorm room. its not as cramped and you get much more interaction with the students of wabash.
Academic Rigor the tests here are predominately essay based. lots of reading every night. papers are between 2-15 pages.
Tips for prospective students don't let the all male aspect turn you away from wabash, there are copious amounts of opportunities to find women. be sure to prepare yourself to read and write a lot. the relationships you establish here will benefit you for the rest of your life, be sure to reach out.
In three sentences there are multiple activities around campus almost everyday for anyone to participate in. the relationships you develop with the professors here are long lasting and they are generous and very helpful. the greek life here is outstanding, it's not like other campuses and much more entertaining.

Categories Comments In three sentences i was first deferred from early admission, but i showed them why they should pick me since this is a highly selective school, and it's getting pickier. eventually, my admissions letter rolled in the mail and informed me that i was accepted and had a spot in the entering class!

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have the gentleman's rule. What else do you need?
Greek Life Again, 60% of all the students live in a fraternity.
Clubs and Activities So many clubs and activities that you cannot even remember them all. And if there is something that interests you that is not a club yet, you can create it.
Great for these types of students Athletes who are looking to go to school for much more than just sports.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Don't walk under the arch! Tradition is that if you walk under the arch before your senior comps., that you will fail senior comps.
What to do for fun Crawfordsville area is pretty small, but there is always something to do in it. And if someone can't find something in the town, other big colleges are very close.
Food and Dining Food is readily available, whether you live in a fraternity or not.
Dorm Life 60% Greek life, does that tell you much?
Academic Rigor One of the best educations available in the world.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you check out Wabash College. Even though it is an all male school, it is worth every second of it.
In three sentences Close knit college community that cannot be found anywhere else. One of the best educations available in the world. Easy access to faculty and other resources on campus makes a big difference in a hard subject.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Because Wabash has a tight knit community, everyone looks out for each other. We also have security on campus 24/7 to ensure our safety and the safety of our personal belongings if we should leave the campus.
Greek Life The first question most guys ask when they're considering Wabash College is, Where will I live? And just like so many aspects of our student-centered culture, it's completely up to you. There are a total of nine fraternities but each fraternity is different — each has its own personality — so students who wish to pledge a fraternity should go around and meet brothers in all of the houses to find the perfect fit.
Clubs and Activities Getting involved across campus is the way of life at Wabash. There are so many clubs and activities to choose from here. With the tremendous amount of work, we definitely need a period of respite to take a break. There are organizations that appeal to students of all backgrounds like our Muslim Students Association, College Republicans, College Democrats, Language Club, and our 'sHOUT club for gays, lesbians, and bisexual students.
Great for these types of students Wabash is a great place for guys who are self motivated and have a determination to succeed. He must be willing to make sacrifices and know that the type of education he will receive here is invaluable and will take him where he wants to go.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Wabash has the longest fight song in the nation. One of our long standing traditions is learning this song and being able to perform it for about 1 hour. There is an arch on the campus that students are not allowed to walk under unless he is an alum. Seniors walk under this at commencement. In addition, there is a senior bench that only seniors can sit on but others have the opportunity to paint it and represent his fraternity, dorm, club, or organization.
Bang for the buck Wabash is relatively expensive for a private college. There are only about 850 students on campus, but Wabash can also be pretty generous about scholarships. We have a large endowment, but one has to make use of it in order to reap the benefits.
What to do for fun There are many clubs and organizations to be involved with here at Wabash. I participate in the Glee Club and do a few plays throughout the semester. The town we live in is relatively small so there are limits to the things we can do outside of the college. There is a movie theatre, bowling alley, fast food restaurants, and a local theater that hosts plays every year. If students are looking for a more diverse setting, a 45 minute to 1hr drive may be called for.
Food and Dining In my fraternity, we have a great cook. We do our best to make sure her cooking environment is in tip top shape so that she can be comfortable and feel at home. She cooks for about 70 guys and does and excellent job each time. For non fraternity students, we have two on campus facilities for dining.
Dorm Life Wabash is about 60% greek and 40% dorm. This doesn't necessarily separate us. Speaking from the greek life, I can say that I have friends on both sides and we all get along just fine.
Academic Rigor Wabash is known for its academic rigor. The professors are always willing to help out students who make themselves available. Students really have to commit and take on the workload that Wabash comes with.
Tips for prospective students Disclaimer: This is an all male school. But it is a great opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and value women even more whenever you do come across them. Come prepared to work hard!
In three sentences It's a great school that takes a lot of dedication. A lot of the students here are hard working and it's great to collaborate with students from all over the world. I would recommend this college for male students looking to take his education to the next level.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The college is in a small town called Crawfordsville and the campus isn't very large or spread out. In addition, people respect the campus and the people on it so there is hardly ever any trouble.
Greek Life There is about 60% of the student population in the greek life and its very tight and oriented around having fun and doing well in school.
Clubs and Activities There is over a dozen number of clubs and activities for students to do so all students will be busy and having fun 24/7.
Great for these types of students Great for all types of men because it is an all male campus but when men come out they have matured and are ready for society.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are a lot of traditions on the campus because it was established in 1832, but there are to many to talk about all at once.
Bang for the buck Offer a large amount of scholarships and also gives a lot of money for financial aid
What to do for fun Hanging out with friends on weekends, sports to play with friends either in the allen center or outdoors, and also the social gathering with neighboring campuses.
Food and Dining The fraternities have there own cook and there is a cafeteria for those in dorms. Wabash offer meal plans and good quality food.
Dorm Life With the nine fraternities and the three dorms, it creates bonds with the people you meet for a life time. In addition, the school provides as much needed furnishing as a college student needs.
Academic Rigor This college pushes the student to the limit but never breaks them. Wabash help create and sculpt a well educated man through the rigourous learning.
Tips for prospective students The college gives all there is needed to know about the school and helps the prospective students with there choice.
In three sentences The college is very well rounded and is very challeneging. Wabash is also very fun and creates open-mined men. This school makes champions through hard work and a tight bond among friends.

Categories Comments Campus Safety From my experience at Wabash it seems that the only people you have to worry about are the people that live in the college town. Students respect one another. There are few incidents on the campus. None the less, always lock your room, car and locker when you are not around!
Greek Life About 50% of the people at Wabash live in fraternities. They all love it! The men in the houses compete in intramural sports. The best house competitions are held during homecoming week. All the houses host parties during the year. They are a great part of the Wabash community.
Clubs and Activities Wabash has tons of different clubs ranging from Greek life to the Zombie Apocalypse. If you can't find the club you want, find three people and start one yourself!
Great for these types of students Wabash is great for any type of student. I would recommend this school to any male that I know. The men of Wabash come from all over then work ranging from China to Africa. The students also vary from nerdy to athletic. There is no type of student, at Wabash every student is a Wabash Man.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Wabash is full of tradition. The fraternities battle it out all week during Homecoming week. Activities vary from Chapel Sing to game day floats. Be sure not to step on the W in the athletics center or on the seal in the library!
Bang for the buck Students and faculty at Wabash are very welcoming. I have never felt as if I belonged somewhere so well. None of the upperclassman pick on younger students and no one pressures you to do anything that you are uncomfortable with. Wabash is a great place to be. It will prepare you for the future no matter what you choose to major in.
What to do for fun Getting involved is a must at any school. Wabash is no different. Many students join various clubs or sporting events for fun. Students can attend the in season sport for free, swim in the pool during public hours, or go ton the fitness center. Most times students have fun in their rooms by playing video games or cards. The town doesn't offer much in the way of fun, but Chicago and Indianapolis are in reasonable driving distance!
Food and Dining The food is good. It is exactly what you would expect from any school, good, but not amazing. There are different choices. All meals are healthy so you don't have to think twice about what you choose to eat!
Dorm Life Wabash students either live in dorms or fraternities. About 50% live in dorms while the other 50% live in dorms or on-campus houses. The fraternity and independent ( dorm) life are both a lot of fun. You will meet new people and develop strong relationships. Two of the three dorms used to be fraternity houses so the rooms are spacious. All the fraternities are relatively new with great furnishings and spacious houses.
Academic Rigor Most classes at Wabash will push you to your limits. Professors expect a lot out of the students. This shouldn't be used as a turn off either. The rigor at Wabash will prepare all the students for the work force or next level of education. Wabash will challenge you, but you can gt through it with hard work and plenty of studying.
Tips for prospective students There are A million things that CI could tell incoming students at Wabash. The two main tips I would give are study and don't let the all male atmosphere turn you off. Many classmates a green that high school could easily be passed with little or no study time. Wabash College and all other colleges will push your knowledge to the limit. I would suggest that you give yourself plenty of time to ghetto know the material front and back. Don't cram! The all male atmosphere is different to say the least, but it shouldn't be used as a turn off. I would suggest not thinking about the fact of Wabash being all male. You won't even notice on the weekends!
In three sentences The all male atmosphere of Wabash College is one of the many traditions that you will find. The small all male atmosphere creates a brotherhood that is unparalleled at other schools. Through tradition and brotherhood, Wabash men will become successful and live great Lives due to such a wonderful school, Wabash College.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Wabash is extremely safe.
Greek Life Wabash College has great fraternities, and in a sense, is a large fraternity on its own.
Clubs and Activities Wabash College has a wide span of clubs and activites and large amounts of funding available for those clubs through its Student Senate.
Bang for the buck Although Wabash College is certainly not cheap, every dime will be worth it if you put in the neccesary effort. Wabash College works hard to help it's admitted students to be able to afford there education.
What to do for fun Although entertainment opportunities may not be obvious in Crawfordsville, IN, there are in fact many ways for a college student to keep busy. Crawfordsville is near both Shades State Park and Turkey Run State Park. Crawfordsville is the home of both the Lew Wallace and Lane Place Museums, as well as other historical landmarks including the Rotary Jail Museum. Crawfordsville has two golf courses, a bowling alley, a movie theater, and many other attractions, however, if there is not enough things for you to do in Crawfordsville, Lafayette is only 30 miles away and Indianapolis is only 45 miles away.
Food and Dining Wabash College has a great dining hall and the City of Crawfordsville has excellent variety of dining options
Dorm Life Wabash College offers excellent dormitories and exceptional fraternity opportunities.
Academic Rigor Wabash College is a challenging, but like all things in life, you will get out of it what you put into it.
Tips for prospective students If you are interested in Wabash College, it is extremely important that you make a campus visit as this has been for many current and past students a crucial factor in there decision.
In three sentences Wabash College is one of three remaining all male colleges. It is outstanding in many ways including its strong liberal arts curriculum, engaging proffessors, and endless opportunities through the network of Wabash Alumni. Wabash College is very small, and is certainly not for everyone, but offers an excellent education for those who dedicate themselves to it.

Defeat at Sunderland for the third successive season, coupled with United's battling 4-3 home victory over Newcastle, saw Sir Alex Ferguson's men reach the halfway stage of the Premier League season with a commanding lead, but one the Italian is confident is far from decisive.
He said after the 1-0 loss: "It hasn't changed. At this moment, United are better than us, they are at the top, but we have time to recover.
"We need to resolve our problems before and after, maybe we can win. It's no problem, seven points.
"That's not important. We know United are a fantastic team and probably they will win every game, but the season is long and it is not important if it is six or seven or four points."
The most pressing problem Mancini has to resolve, in his view, is their propensity to be "too soft" in attacking positions.
They did pass up a series of opportunities at the Stadium of Light - skipper Vincent Kompany hit the bar with an early header and Yaya Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero were all denied by the excellent Simon Mignolet.
Ultimately, it was City old boy Adam Johnson, who left the Etihad for Wearside in a £10million summer switch, who proved the difference between the sides when his 53rd-minute shot squirmed underneath the flat-footed Joe Hart.
Mancini was furious that Johnson had the chance to win the game after Pablo Zabaleta appeared to be caught by Craig Gardner during the build-up, but referee Kevin Friend waved play on.
The City manager said: "How the referee can't see that foul, I don't know.
"The referee ate too much for Christmas. He was not in good form. He and the linesman, I think, after Christmas, it can happen to have a bad performance like today."
However, Mancini refused to criticise Hart for his part in the goal despite the keeper appearing to have moved too far to his right to get back across in time to repel Johnson's effort.
He said: "Johnson was really clever because Joe thought that Johnson was going to cross and instead, he shot.
"He did very well, Johnson."
