Bennington College doesn't give out formal grades or transcripts?

So the students basically have to opt into getting grades. So in my case, my roommate thought they were going to go to Brown and then realized they couldn't get grades out of Bennington. Also showed me that they did no research about what you need to go to grad school.

My college was like that too. It’s cool because tests are irrelevant, but you end up writing a fuck ton of papers. I liked it. I’m not planning on going to grad school so it’s not a problem.

Currently Freshman are encouraged to go on a pass/fail system until their second year but you’re also able to opt in for letter grades immediately.
