But Heavanston?? Lack of pretense?? Let me recover from my laughing fit.

We visited Evanston late summer 2020 and it was gorgeous.

PP here. I agree—it is beautiful, especially in late spring & summer. But do you honestly think a 20 yr old calls it Heavanston? And if they did, it would not be with a straight face.

Colgate bled us dry, DC loved it and got a great job after graduation though.

Oh, you’ll clutch your pearls when you find out the kids call it Hotlanta.

??? I don’t understand the bone being picked here. People have fun nicknames for lots of things, including towns. What’s the big deal?

To answer OP’s question:

Cornell really delighted us unexpectedly after all we had heard about gloomy Ithaca.
Loved the feel of Kenyon, very beautiful, rustic campus as well.

Gettysburg---got a half-tuition scholarship and has worked his butt off. Is highly regarded by faculty and has been given opportunities and recognition he wouldn't likely have gotten if he'd gone to a school that others with his high numbers attend.

Lehigh---great engineering program and a good place for a kid with high numbers but not much self-confidence to start to believe in himself.

Virginia Tech---prepared another strong student well for applying to physical therapy programs. He currently attends U Delaware, always considered one of the top programs in the nation. Only problem he had was finding it more difficult than expected to get a spot in marching band freshman year.

RPI---great for engineering. Got a job with a nationally known company straight out of college.

Catholic U---turned down Johns Hopkins for a full-tuition scholarship and the traditional Catholic education she wanted. Got both an undergrad and Master's degree in biomedical engineering in 4 years, and got a job as a medical researcher at NIH before graduation. Liked Catholic enough that her younger sister and brother decided to go there, too.

Disagree about RPI right now. They have an administration issue that has caused low student and faculty moral. DC is a May 2021 graduate.

JMU. Never met a student or graduate who didn't love that school. Very loyal alumni.

Wake Forest appears to have the happiest, most social students I’ve ever seen collectively.

Indiana University…happy vibe, no intense pressure.

SMU. Kid has been completely happy there. Plus it’s in TX so a normal experience vs the lock-downs at so many other schools.
