[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to visit Tufts in the 90s and thought it was depressing. I went to UVa and loved it. Now that college prices are absolutely insane, I am having trouble understanding why you wouldn't go to a good state school instead of one of these places, especially if they feel isolated and depressing.

Interestingly, people have different tastes and often chase what makes them happy.  For some that's on the edge of a vibrant city like Boston or in the heart of Philadelphia while for others its a State U in a small town surrounded by mid-American farmland focused primarily on the 50,000 college-age kids that keep the town alive.

I visited friends at UVa and Tech many times and found it depressing each time.  They loved it, though, so good for them! I have no trouble understanding that they chased what they found interesting and engaging which can be the same environment I would've found isolating. [/quote]

Exactly!  My kids didn't want to be that Isolated. They would have survived, but there are many better choices for them.  [/quote]
