[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also found that list interesting - students seeming to select Tulane, BU, BC over other schools they could probably get into that were trendy like Bates, Hamilton, etc. [/quote]

Bated and Hamilton are in very frigid cold areas and Boston is a fun college town. [/quote]

+2 My kids would never want to be in a remote town for 4 years. Boston or New Orleans are both dynamic, busy cities.[/quote]

With one kid in Boston and another in a more rural university town, I would say, be careful what you wish for. The nightlight at Boston colleges is all clubbing. My other kid saw it the way I do: you have your whole life to live in a city, while those 4 years in college go quickly and is the only time to be immersed in that quintessential college environment. Having grown up in a pretty urban part of DC (I think most on here are probably from the suburbs), my one kid was ready for a litle break from it. Absolutely loving her time at one of the aforementioned colleges. I don't understand why people come on here just to bash others' decisions.[/quote]
