[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as all girl schools, I found Visitation the most disappointing.  I found the admissions staff to be cold and unfriendly, both during the open house and also during the admissions process.  The girls were like clones.  I asked them why they chose Visitation and they just said bc mom or grandma or aunt went there.  They were some of the worst tour guides we had out of 8 schools we visited.  It almost felt like they were forced to be there.  The buildings were lovely and the campus was old yet beautiful.  The teachers were unimpressive.

I didn't expect much from Holy Cross, but I came away surprised at how happy and knowledgeable the girls were.  They were great tour guides and the admissions office was nice.

Stone Ridge had a wonderful admissions staff that went over and beyond.  They were extremely helpful and thoughtful.  The girls on the tour were smart and seemed really happy to be there.   Teachers were great.

Holton had a beautiful campus and the admissions office was super nice.  The atmosphere of girls really varied.  Some of them were only focused on socializing and gave kind of a country club feel, yet others were so warm and welcoming.  The teachers seemed fantastic and went out of their way to talk and answer any questions. [/quote]
