[quote=Anonymous]With the caveat that I have no idea how accurate her impression was: My DD was turned off by the Bard tour guides constantly talking about all the initiatives on campus to encourage students to read. “It’s like first grade all over again!” They also talked at length about all the pre-freshman seminars, and she’d already read every book they mentioned, some in her classes and some for fun. She thought it sounded like bunch of remedial courses—more so than the freshman seminars at other schools. But I think it was the dismissive wave with which the guide noted that “and the academic buildings are over there” that sealed her impression of Bard as an unserious place. That was the only tour she ever bailed on. I thought the campus was gorgeous, and wanted to visit the symphony hall and see more of the arts facilities, but it was pretty clear she’d made up her mind. At those prices, I didn’t try too hard to convince her![/quote]
