[quote=Anonymous]We’ve toured a couple schools twice so know the weather, tour guide, and other factors can greatly influence impressions. Here’s ours on one particular day in spring.

Harvard - sat through a long presentation and unfortunately 2 students working that day were incredibly similar and soft-spoken so didn’t get much out of it. Felt like takeaway was to be super impressed with school and to have zero expectations on getting in. Building smelled horribly of fish. Tour guide was okay. Nothing stuck out, felt touristy, and underwhelmed but know it’s Harvard so expectations were likely too high.

Princeton - phenomenal freshman tour guide which was impressive, beautiful campus and well-maintained, didn’t love eating clubs, love undergrad focus.

Penn- loved proximity to hospital, main walkway area is very cool, we must have had a sheltered stay as didn’t notice it being a rough area. Didn’t do official tour, students appeared happy and social. Not a fan of Wharton vibe though.

Brown - agree with person yesterday that quad felt like “funny farm” staged, Providence was nice, students seemed very happy, great tour guide, needs some updates on some interiors and felt worn in places.

Cornell - felt intense, beautiful campus and interesting architecture, Ithaca is cute, food looked amazing. Also felt worn in some buildings.

Yale -  nice AO led session with q&a, another phenomenal tour guide, my favorite campus, interiors were astoundingly nice to me in some buildings. Didn’t see a lot of kids walking together or life outside but partially time of day.

Curious to hear about others experiences. [/quote]
