[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure it counts as a "good" college, but Syracuse.   I had a great time there, but the overall student body is mediocre and not very intelligent, and it is so darn expensive.  No way I would let my child attend there today.[/quote]

Interesting. It’s a very popular school for graduates from our town (New England, strong public) and my kid has expressed interest in it. But I was just hearing from someone that everyone from our town who started there the last few years has transferred elsewhere.[/quote]

Strange. My son is there and is absolutely loving it - not a big party guy, not into sports, not super academic - I was worried he would not find his people, but he did, largely through his area of study. And everyone I know who went there is a huge fan! Strong alumni network as well.

But I do agree with the criticisms on expense and that it's not a super selective school. Personally it's way too cold and gray for me, but my kid loves it.[/quote]
