[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What specifically made her say Emory has no sense of community?[/quote]

My daughter didn't love the Emory campus layout and i think that influenced her view of the community. As we toured, [b]she didn't see a centralized area where people could meet up.[/b] Lots of buildings with hospital in the middle.  Lots of kids wandering but didnt see much interaction. School traditions tour guide talked about were kind of lame. Yet, the Emory quality of life ratings are high, so not sure what that is based on. That's why I am interested in learning about social life experience and what kids do socially outside of class and school clubs. Is greek life active? [/quote]

There is a massive, green quad with large white chairs. Odd. Did she ask the tour guide?

Sounds like her mind was already made up for BS reasons. move on from these schools.[/quote]
This, why visit a school you don't like. I would be surprised if there was a deeper reason she doesn't want like said schools but using school spirit as a veil. [/quote]

These comments are so strange, kids visit schools to see if they are a good fit.  Perfectly normal to realize a school is a bad fit after a visit.  Not every school is a good fit for every kid.[/quote]

Different poster: sure, but when the parent reports the basis for not liking a school and at least some of those are not based on facts, it is appropriate to point that out. It’s like someone saying I don’t like DC because it lacks monuments and people respond by saying that’s not true.[/quote]
