[quote=Anonymous]If you have not visited these schools, find a way to do so. I agree with the "vibe" PPs. Things that my own kids looked for: Size. My kids preferred smaller schools. Friends of theirs preferred larger schools. The feeling is definitely different between the two, so think about where your comfort zone is. Aesthetics. One of my kids was very clear that a pretty campus was at the top of her must-have list. (The other kid didn't really care) Access to off-campus activities. Both of mine chose campuses that are adjacent to small-medium towns so they can easily walk to shopping/coffee/restaurants. Both ruled out otherwise great schools because they were too isolated. Access to on- campus activities of interest: clubs, intramurals/club sports, movies, theater, outdoor activity excursions, etc. Paired with that are strong campus traditions/school spirit. [/quote]
