Rhodes=AMAZING!!! I fell in love with it...My mom and I got to Memphis Thursday night and had dinner. Friday was Rhodes day. We had a guided tour/meeting with financial aid at 11:00.

I think the idea that there is absolutely NO cheating, stealing, and you can leave your thousand dollar laptop lying around without fear is being a little too optimistic...but maybe that's just me. (all school's say they're the safest school)

Well the chance still exists...though it is slim. While the fact that you can choose to leave your backpack in an unattended classroom while eating lunch is yours, you can almost guarantee that it will not be harmed. You sign a contract upon entering that states you will not go against Rhodes principles or policies and if you do then you may suffer stiff consciencequences. I'm not saying it's free of predators, no college/university is...however it's a fact that the strict honor code is indeed followed more times than isn't.

Oh.. I forgot to mention that some professors actually let you take your finals in an unsupervised classroom. And that some even let you take it back to your dorm room trusting that you do not cheat or look at your notes...now that's what I call trust and respect. You show Rhodes respect and they show you the same respect in return which I also think is awesome.
