One tour was disappointing — and the school doesn't even matter, though it was a Top 40 LAC — because it happened too early on a rainy, cold Saturday. All the students were probably staying cozy in their dorms, and the campus seemed super-lifeless ... much more so than it probably would have on Friday afternoon.

Quintessential UVA person: maybe invest a fraction of that 260k in a remedial writing course?

Moms still clinging to the old days desperately try to perpetuate those stereotypes as much as possible so they can relive the high school bullying days

DP. Huh? Noticing the definite vibe on campus is not "perpetuating stereotypes" or "bullying." But by all means, continue to add to those impressions with your bizarre posts.

It's the judgemental way you describe people like you're superior to them, if you had an ounce of self awareness you'd recognize that.

Lol and I just read the comment from a mom calling her tour guide "visually offensive" yikes you all will never not be able to pretend for a second that you're not awful soulless people.

I'm all for in-state options - my kid attends a different in-state school. UVA held no appeal. Sorry.

If you're not smart enough to figure out how the back button works you probably shouldn't be talking down to others

Even reading the back and forth it's unclear if the PP is talking about parents of students or random haters on this forum.

It was directed at the people on this forum making nasty comments about teenagers and young adults.

Oh, okay. Agreed. That comment by someone about the tour guide was totally rude.

Some of the big name schools don't live up to the hype in person. Harvard...the campus does not look as good as you would think. Berkeley also disappointing, especially city area around campus. Same thing with Penn. Great schools people are lucky to go to...but they don't feel as good on a tour as expected.

Berkeley, Harvard, and Penn are in major cities. Either people are looking for an urban campus or not.
