We were gone longer than a week. Did morning sessions (9/10am start) and then afternoon sessions (2/3pm start). Only did one full day open house type event.

Clemson is about 3.5 hours from the North Carolina schools and is near Furman, have heard good things, but we did not visit. College of Charleston was the favorite with Wake Forest coming in second.

So your kid is planning to apply to both of these? Wake forest as a reach and CofC as a safety?

1. Haverford. Loved the vibe, the sense of community, beautiful campus, study abroad opportunities and the ability to take classes at Bryn Mawr, Stratmore and Penn. Our son is interested in graduate school and they have a great track record in admissions to top programs.

2. Penn. Sibling just graduated two years ago and is already acquainted with the school.

3. Bucknell. He was more impressed than he thought he would be. Great tour guide and just a beautiful campus. He would likely receive a good amount of merit aid and could save some of the money in his 529 to use towards graduate school.

4. Leigh. Enjoyed the tour and the overall vibe of the campus but was more impressed with the first 3.

5. Lafayette. It was clear from almost when the tour started he did not like the campus. For whatever reason, it just rubbed him the wrong way.

What is Leigh?

Not pp but I’m guessing maybe a typo for Lehigh University?
