[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents job is to help kids approach things with an open mind. Not sure if OP is doing a good job at that.[/quote]
Wrong. Everything written were the opinions of my DD. I don’t say anything during our tours and let her make her own comments and decisions. But if she asked my opinion I would tell her the truth. 
I’m still waiting for someone who has a DV at the school to chime in. Seems like there is in person Herr who wants to defend UMBC  to no end. 
[b]Did you actually attend the school? Have you even visited? Why do you seem to live it so much?[/b][/quote]

I think people are just reacting to your DD's stupid reaction based on a tour. Posters are not necessarily defending UMBC per se, they are just pointing out that you and your DD's thought processes are all f'ed  up.

Why do you feel the need to call someone stupid because they don't think a school is the right fit for them after spending 6 hours at the school touring. 
Please enlighten me as to how you are supposed to evaluate whether or not you want to attend a particular school? Is the campus visit not a part of that process? How is that f'ed up?
Maybe UMBC work for some but in this case I support DD and her decision that UMBC is not for her.[/quote]

NP here. I think the PP was referring to the strength of your reaction to a large open house - something that most people realize is not the best way to judge any school. Why did you even feel the need to post on here in the first place? You weren't even asking a question but just wanted to comment on 1) the parking situation 2) how crowded it was and 3) (and the most ridiculous point) how they mentioned the win over UVA. And I just checked and it looked like you posted about this TWICE on College Confidential. WTF?![/quote]
