[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Syracuse (with merit aid) was way too expensive[/quote]

Alum here- understood, but it is a great school.[/quote]

The surrounding area is so depressing though.[/quote]

Alum here- Yes, surrounding area (city of Syracuse) is depressing. Syracuse University revolves around the amazing, self-contained campus. In large part,  the campus  greatly  contributes to the school spirit, and close-knit environment (especially for a large school.)[/quote]

And, Syracuse has had a consistent problem with racial incidents and lately a big protest about an alleged rape on campus.  We passed on it too because of the high tuition in spite of merit aid.  I kept saying to myself with all the great schools, which are more reasonably priced, who would waste $80K for this school?[/quote]

The towns in which some of these schools are located are not as depressing as the attitudes of parents in the DMV who are unable to suppress their constant need to unleash on schools they consider below them (or in some cases turned down their kids).

These threads are best when they are parents laughing about their own kids’ arbitrary, snap judgments, but get tiring when they are lengthy put-downs crafted by adults. [/quote]
