Yes, they may be more friendly, on a surface level, but that doesn’t necessarily translate into deep-level outreach to students in emotional/psychological need.
Texas A&M prof Peter Tarnow said here last month that Texas hospitality is, in essence, a mile wide but often just an inch deep. (He’s a native of Chile, so he has a definite outsider’s perspective.)
Well, to the degree he’s right (a fair degree, but not totally), that translates to small college hospitality in some way.
My two cents from journaling about my own college years.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
