[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For my DC  it isn’t  even necessarily the campus itself that gave the lasting impression. It was the tour guide!
 
Vanderbilt: fake friendly and she said “funner” — seems dumb
Swarthmore: What is she wearing?! So weird. Ew.
Oberlin: If she mentions one more time she’s gay I’m going to leave the tour. We know, she’s gay.
Wm& Mary: they seem so nice and pretty normal, but kind of boring. Do they really think a cheese club is all that unusual?
Brown: He seems really nice and like he is really talking to us, not just memorizing. But he keeps basically saying he has no fun except laying on the floor of a building which is weird  
Vassar: OMG, seriously, what is she wearing?

And you think your DC’s comments are adorable?[/quote]

Absolutely not! I think they are terribly superficial. It’s as bad as crossing a place off the list because it rained that day.[/quote]

That's the point of the thread-- kids can make snap decisions based on things that seem arbitrary or not very important. My DS participated in a summer camp at a college and says (he's in HS now) that he wants to go there because he really liked the cafeteria. Same school had a college event at his HS, and he's now doubly convinced, because they mentioned they have memory foam mattresses in the dorm rooms. [/quote]
