[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Case Western just didn’t have a happy campusy vibe for my kid. [/quote]
My child attended a virtual information session last week with Case Western.  One of the things we both noticed was that only one student on the panel appeared happy.  The others were so detached and it felt like they were role playing.  Something was so off about the presentation.  Also, there was a question posed about the safety of Case Western.  Two of the students got defensive with their responses.  The virtual encounter  turned my child off from visiting Case Western in person.

Interesting. Good friend's son had a fairly miserable HS experience in the social realm. Case Western wasn't even on his list, but he ended up there due to a number of circumstances beyond his control. He has been nothing but happy. Has found groups of friends, involved in a lot of activities. He was so excited to return to school this fall. The parents are beyond delighted.

Virtual sessions, even tours, can be so random. My DS hated one tour this summer and a classmate loved it - DS' tour guide emphasized things in which he wasn't really interested whereas the classmate had a very different tour. Probably even more so when virtual.

GL to all the seniors and their parents![/quote]
