[quote=Anonymous]My 2 cents -- I went to Blair Academy in NJ, East Stroudsburg was the closest "city" and it is a DUMP (still in 2024).  East Stroudsburg is also SO much weaker than Lehigh, Villanova etc. she is going to have SUCH a different cohort of peers both academically and socioeconomically.  Most kids who are less academically rigorous but still somewhat MC UMC would go to a school like Muhlenberg.  ESU is going to have a really different demographic.  That being said, I would assume, I think correctly, that getting a 4.0 in the sciences at ESU is going to be MUCH easier than at Lehigh or Villanova.  If her ultimate goal is med school, this is going to set her up better for med school admissions.  If she is factoring in enjoying her college experience, I would visit and really look closely and think about if that is possible at ESU.  I made my best friends in college, and most where at least somewhat like me -- either socioeconomically(UMC), religiously (Jewish), or academically driven. Will your daughter have a cohort of peers who are like her?  Do they stay on campus over the weekends?[/quote]
