[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I both graduated nescacs and our two children graduated ivies and my impression is that nescacs deliver a far superior undergrad experience. Abundant opportunities to work with professors on research and loads of mentorship. Go visit and decide for yourself. I wouldn’t bankrupt myself for the opportunity but attending a NESCAC is a special experienc.[/quote]

LOL, ok.[/quote]

PP, are you still using a rotary or a flip phone and thinking your rotary or flip works just as well as a smartphone in calling or receiving phone calls?  The original PP is trying to explain to you the benefits of a smartphone. If you never owned one, everything goes over your head. [/quote]

If you think yours is a clever retort I got news for you . . .

But I'll elaborate.  First, NESCAC is an athletic conference.  For this poster to group them all together and say attending any single one of them is a "special experience" is ridiculous.  Some are better than others, and several are not "special" at all.

In any event, my real reason for the "LOL, ok" is that this poster isn't going to school with her kids or sitting in on their classes so she has no idea whether [i]every[/i] NESCAC delivers a "far superior undergrad experience" than their Ivy League schools. [b] And if she responds to this post with "well, we talk about their classes all the time as a family," or words to that effect, my response is both "well, that's really weird" and "so what, it's not the same thing."[/b]

NP -- And my response to that is, sorry that you show no interest in your kid's intellectual life and growth and they seem to respond in kind.  But, LOL, you do you.  [/quote]
