[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD was accepted last year so we spent sometime on campus. Frankly her primary motive for applying was to compete for a Johnson scholarship. She was not selected although we were offered financial aid.

DD sat in on a class and we toured campus and spent the nite in town. My DW and I both liked it although I was a little concerned about my DD feeling like a have-not amongst the haves. My DD did not want to rush a sorority and did not like the location and feel of the junior dorms.

In the end my DD decided it wasn’t for her. My DW and I thought it would be a very nice place to spend your college years but we didn’t want to not respect my DD’s wishes.

Because of Lee, VMI literally next door, and the confederate flags it seemed to be a place that draws strong feelings. Spend some time on campus and you’ll get a sense if it is right for your family.[/quote]

My DD was also accepted with a generous FA package. Felt the same as above. We parents lived it & it’s a beautiful campus but DD didn’t want to be “the poorest kid on campus” No thank you! I had to respect that as DD had other choices. Also the sorority women were scary. [/quote]

I was probably THE poorest kid on campus back in the day. Didn’t matter to me much, though I remember feeling weird the first semester that my clothes were pretty crappy. I had an incredible experience there. [/quote]
