[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My older kid dismissed most schools for random reasons.

A few I remember:
Providence College: I can't be a Friar for life
Boston College: The T is too slow out here.
Haverford: the grass is too tall
Anything in the DC area: too close to home (like we want to visit them!!!!!!)
"Not enough trees": this was a bunch of schools, apparently my kid had a "tree quota".

This cracks me up because my kid's impression of Haverford was that all they talked about were the trees. In the car as we were leaving he asked me "Do we think that's like a THING here, that it's like a point of pride for everyone who goes here that there are all these old trees? Because I don't see myself caring about trees that much."

Other highlights include:

Johns Hopkins: If they are that obsessed with how much financial aid they give out, maybe they should see that as a sign that they charge too much
JMU: Wait, the highway runs right through the campus? 
Mary Washington: So. Much. Brick. But the beverage selection in the dining hall weirdly impressed him.
