[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’ve got a kid trying to figure out if they like the feel of a SLAC, big research university, state flagship with Greek life and football, etc etc — basically all the genres of school out there — what are the closest places to check out just for the vibe? [/quote] For close by, Maryland is good for big state school, with all the caveats. College Park is not Ann Arbor, Athens, Madison, Boulder, Austin and so on. There are far better big State U towns than College Park, but it will do for a visit to get a sense of things. For urban school with a campus, Georgetown. But it's a tiny campus. It is coherent and distinct, however. For an incoherent urban school, GW. It totally blends into the city. You wouldn't know there's a school there without the signs. For a STEM-y school in an urban area, Johns Hopkins up in Baltimore. Drawing a blank on SLACs nearby. Maybe Washington and Lee, but that's still 3 hours away.[/quote]
