[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We really liked Clark University.  DC was offered $27k/year merit but ended up going to a NESCAC. Yes, Clark was a safety for DC but DC would have been happy to attend there.  Welcoming administration, very friendly students, potential for 5th year free were just a few things that stuck out.  Sure, Worchester isn't the prettiest place but lots of college students around and close to Boston.   I hope my younger DC will consider it - would be a good fit.  [/quote]

[b]My DC is at Clark on a merit award. It's been a great experience. DC actually likes Worcester quite a bit, but it is gritty for sure.

We visited Wooster a few years back and really liked it, in fact it was my favorite of the schools we visited with DC. (DC wanted a more urban environment.) I always recommend it to people--it just seemed like a warm, friendly place and I love their senior experience project (I forget what they call it).[/quote]

The grittiness didn't bother us at all.  In fact, it appealed to my DC.  My DC has volunteered with homeless families and was interested in volunteering with the immigrant community and Worchester is a great place to do that.  Glad to hear that your DC is having a great experience at Clark.  It is still stands out as one of our favorite college visits - despite the fact that it was a rainy, miserable day.  If you can come away with a positive experience after a day like that, I think it says something about the school.  [/quote]
