[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC thought Amherst and Wake Forest were beautiful but too precious/insulated.[/quote]

Driving into Wake felt like entering a country club, complete with a guard house and gate. [/quote]

It's absolutely beautiful - gate only at one entrance.  There are many. [/quote]

DP.  We did a driving tour of over a dozen colleges this summer. Wake was the only campus that wouldn’t even let you drive through.  [/quote]

NP. A few years ago we were near Princeton and thought we'd drive through campus and you weren't allowed to drive through. Hmm. Wake Forest and Princeton. Never thought I'd type those two in the same sentence.[/quote]

I don't get this idea that one should be able to"drive through" campus. When we have gone to Princeton, we have parked either in the town or in one of the giant parking lots, and walked around. Why do you need to or want to drive through?[/quote]

+1  went there this summer.  Parked right in front of the school and walked around and then grabbed breakfast in the small quaint town.  [/quote]

That must have been Princeton. The Wake campus was closed. And security wasn’t the least bit friendly about sharing that information. So we didn’t feel like pushing the issue. DC just decided Wake clearly wasn’t for him. It was just odd that Wake was so much more closed and unfriendly than any other college we visited, including Duke. [/quote]
