The Backpage decided to do Whitman a kindness and give the Jan Starts a heads-up. We’ve compiled our wisdom into a handy little list.
- If you’re not into white guys, transfer. Transfer now.
- Don’t be ashamed about drinking in or before Encounters. Drink every time the overeager kid who is “majoring in philosophy” raises his hand and repeats what the professor just said.
- Whitman actually does not have a uniform. All those people are wearing plaid of their own volition.
- If you notice a weird silence on your way to dinner at Jewett, don’t be alarmed. That’s just Lyman.
- Creeping on People Search is basically a minor at Whitman.
- BSU will host a dance with a title that should strike you as perpetuating stereotypes, but you end up deciding it’s probably okay since they came up with it.
- Despite what your awkward roommate might try to tell you, Magic Cards were never cool.
- About once a semester, Whitman will bring a band to campus. It’ll be that one band that you pretended to like in order to hit on that hipster girl at the record store. You have to go to a state school for Macklemore.
