[quote=Anonymous]Obviously everyone has a different experience.  Pur children (twins) both wanted what I can only refer to as schools in cold places.  To be certain, I scheduled visits in January and February, when it was certain to be cold and gray!

U of MI - loved it
Wesleyan - loved it
Northwestern - hated it (never saw a smiling student the entire visit)
BU, NEU, Brown - same trip, loved all 3

We also visited safetys Pitt and Penn State (kids originally listed PSU above Pitt, but changed their minds after visiting - for rival schools,  they are so different!  Pitt is urban, PSU is in the middle of no where rural (although they do have happy cows and delicious ice cream, and incredibly happy looking students, most in Penn Staye garb)

One of them also expressed interest in Vanderblt, so off we went.  Campus is nice, the city was covered with cranes (lots of building going on), but the focus of the info session was living with/access to professors (kid didn't care), and nothing about being a D1 school.  Fortunately, our tour guide told us about taking the bus to away football, basketball and baseball games, and our child became interested again.[/quote]
