[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hands down UChicago was best tour, but that included a first trip to the city itself which my kid loved - would only apply to cold weather schools
Loved Oberlin, despite middle of nowhere in OH, which is a shame
I loved Case Western, surrounded by culture and pretty campus, but kid put off for some reason
Kid loved BU, I hated the constant wind from the river, would drive me mad
I liked Carnegie Mellon, kid was done with Pittsburgh after Pitt tour, wouldn't get out of care for CM
Kid hated Lafayette but like Lehigh, I didn't care for either, but seemed like decent schools, just depressing towns
Kid hated Drexel, for a cold city kid I didn't get this, I didn't mind it
Kid hated Bucknell, seemed too fratty, loud music on our Sat 9am tour from frat house literally smack dab in middle of campus, kids in house seemed obnoxious - and middle of absolute nowhere, 90s buildings only, seemed a bit dated
Vassar campus was a pleasant surprise but Middlebury was a turnoff, wanted to leave tour asap. No landscaping, seemed like random allocation of buildings on campus, 90s library and science center
Skidmore seemed - damp
Surprised by American and GW, liked both campuses,  the landscaping on American's campus was nice

In general, I hate to say some campuses were pretty bad compared to kids current, lovely private school. The small LACs seemed really like high schools[/quote]

Yes, American has about the best landscaping of any college in America. [/quote]
