[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if this was a school I visited.  Great website, nice handouts, beautiful campus, enthusiastic parents at the open house... I sooo wanted to like it, but the great turnoff was the physical condition of the buildings.  I have one physical criteria for the schools we're visiting - they need to be at least as nice as our current daycare facility.  I just can't see spending a ton of money for a place that looks like it's seen better days, especially if the other schools we're considering have maintained the physical condition of their sites.  May seem superficial, but if a place looks rundown, it makes me wonder what else they're neglecting.  The school I'm thinking of touts its strong academics, use of new technology (smart boards in classrooms), and small class sizes.  But the classrooms looked cluttered and tired (they have smart boards, but they haven't painted the rooms in ages, and the heat is up way too high).  I was really disappointed, and we ended up deciding not to apply.[/quote]
