[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a helpful thread.

My DD said no to Drexel- going there helped her figure out she didn’t want THAT urban. Also felt like a school almost exclusively for suburban NJ kids.

Macalester got crossed off the list bc the Midwest was … too friendly. No kidding. And this is from a kid with relatives in the Midwest! They all freaked her introverted self out with their chattiness and wide smiles. (Also the area seemed weirdly dead, despite us thinking the Twin Cities would be so awesome)

BC felt too preppy/cliquey. As did Tufts. Too UMC pony tails and giant sweatshirts and fake tans.

Never put UMD on her list- too close, too big.

Refused to apply to any school in PA.

New parents— if these all (not just mine) seem like bizarre reasons to dump a school, get ready. This is really the weird stuff that makes it breaks a school for seniors! Good thing there are lots of different schools in the US!! 😄
