They both seem way too expensive but my DD wants a middle size school with school spirit and a pretty, non-urban campus. Her ideal school would be more diverse though and have less of a reputation for being stuck up preps. (Maybe that has changed a bit?)
Would love thoughts and opinions from people who have visited, applied or had kids attending. |

| Hope your DD finds a school befitting her non-judgemental self. |

| I am an alum of one of these and stuck up prep is not an inaccurate description |

Country club vibes is I think what OP is getting at.
Maybe try Lehigh? |

No comparison. Wake Forest has some amazing professors. Much better population of students.
Villanova is filled with entitled babies. |

| Wake Forest is a NOVA annex-if you want a different vibe than McLean, Bethesda, or DC go elsewhere! |

I disagree. Wake's football team is doing well and plenty of kids go to the games. 'Nova' s bball program is usually pretty god. |
