We just got back from a tour of Northwestern with junior DS. I cracked up at how they made this huge deal about athletic events being included in tuition, so they're free for all students. I thought, okay cool. You'll give the kids $500 worth of athletic tickets so then you can charge us $62,500 instead of $63,000! What a sweet deal! 
(In Northwestern's defense, it was a lovely school. But that little tidbit was so silly.) Any others? |

| Dunno, my kid's at another Big 10 school that charges for sports events and so far with football, basketball and hockey it's not insignificant. |

| LEED certified buildings became a running joke for us. Seemed like every school we visited made a point to tout their comitment to the environment and to mention / tour their LEED platinum building. DH works for EPA, so we get it, but frankly it had zero bearing for DD in what she was looking for in a school. When she was accepted to her top choice I texted, "Well that's nice... BUT DO THEY HAVE ANY LEED BUILDINGS?!?!" |
