[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]

Skidmore was “damp”? What does that mean?

We had a great tour at Skidmore. Really kind and engaged tour guide. Students on campus were really enthusiast and positive, shouting affirmations about the school for our tour group. Also appreciated the handwritten postcard my student received in the mail after our visit.[/quote]
