[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Villanova - admittedly it was a cold and grey day when we went, but the campus felt really uninviting.

Harvard - we didn't do a tour, and DD wasn't really interested in applying, but we popped over to Cambridge when visiting Boston. It felt like a tourist trap!

Duke - the main, historic part of the campus was beautiful, but it felt a bit [i]too[/i] manicured - like a Disney world type place. And the rest of the campus was mediocre.

[b]Surprised by all the William & Mary comments - we had the opposite experience! DD loved W&M even more after the tour.[/b] [/quote]

Definitely appeals to different types of kids... my son hated it but my daughter loved it![/quote]

Agree - I had one hate it and one love it. I felt like the Colonial Williamsburg aspect can be a real turn off for some kids, even though my DS who attends there considers that a non-issue. I had a friend who's DD saw a Thomas Jefferson walking around the town and said "forget it."  My nephew from NC got on the cypher postcards indicating likely admission and I am figuring out with my sister the best time to visit to make him love it![/quote]
