[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this part of the recent elitism campaign? What a weird OP. How would she be throwing it all away by going to Agnes Scott or Holyoke? Both great schools. She could be an elite scholar at AS. Jolyoke has an excellent reputation and network.

Also, I don't believe the reports on Smith and Wellesley. We toured Smith and met the nicest people. Friend is at Wellesley. One of the kindest people I know.

This whole thread seems like an attempt to undermine women's colleges. Again,  I have to wonder if someone is getting paid to post propaganda and socially engineer the political climate here.[/quote]
Your comment is strange. You don’t believe someone could have a bad experience with a college just because you had a good one? OP isn’t even undermining women’s colleges, they’re trying to assert how elite Wellesley and Smith college are. Just a poor reading of the issue at hand.[/quote]

Not strange at all. Look again. OP disses the ones her kid "likes" as unworthy of rank,  than disses the others as hostile. No one said every kid would have a good experience,  but the idea that some are unworthy and some unwelcoming just doesn't fit with overall reality. And, all are judged negatively for one reason or another. Would not be surprised if this were politically motivated.[/quote]
No you’re misunderstanding. She thinks these prestigious schools are lovely; her child doesn’t. That’s a very different thing. OP is pretty clearly enamored by the top HWCs.[/quote]
