[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DD was a Freshman in High School we happened to be in Pittsburgh and so took the opportunity to visit U Pitt.  It was just before graduation time so many students were out and about and looked very cheerful.  They were all wearing typical spring/summer clothes that high school students wear.  My DD's comment was "they look just like high school students"!  She must have thought college students are mature and look lot different than high school students.  U Pitt also has nice vibrant surroundings and there are lot of things to do for students in the city.  She also liked the spirit exhibited by the students.  We had a good campus tour, had lunch at a restaurant that students frequent and later had a coffee/hot chocolate at Starbucks within walking distance of the admissions office.

I am not suggesting that you and your DD should consider U Pitt.  But a visit similar to that, if not to U Pitt itself, will in my opinion, cheer your DD and lessen the anxiety she feels about college life.  All the best to your DD.  Mine is also a Junior.[/quote]

Yes! This is exactly what we need to see.  Any of the schools on our prospective list offer this kind of vibe?  [/quote]
