It's certainly just an anecdote, but we experienced more random, friendly interactions when touring our child's midwest LAC than the other half dozen or so visited schools put together. That's not the main reason they ultimately chose that school, but it was a factor. They did continue to feel the community was particularly friendly after attending, based on hosting friends from other schools as well as visiting them at those places. That said, this is a very personal thing. What people consider friendly and how much importance that holds to them will understandably vary quite a bit.[/quote]

Everything here is just anecdotes. But people make judgments based on their personal experiences. When touring colleges, the nicest kids we met were at Notre Dame, McGill, Rice, and Vanderbilt. The most surly and unpleasant kids were at Columbia.

I went to school in New England. So I'm not unfamiliar with the Northeast. But I can see why young folks don't choose that anymore.
