My sister has spent a couple years there (plus this year working at home with projects on the side), and finds the students intelligent, the teachers highly qualified, and the work comprehensive. Something like a third or a fourth of the student body tries for student senate positions, if that tells you anything
It's an excellent place to go for any sort of
government or liberal arts degree. Patrick Henry's debate team regularly wins national debate tournaments.
On the down side, Patrick Henry doesn't really have a high-level math department, so it's
not the place to go for any sort of mathematics, engineering, or other math-related degrees.
I'll see if I can get my sister on here in a bit to post more specific information.
