[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have four children and have visited numerous schools...our thoughts:

UVA...admissions was arrogant and impersonal...they do not register your visit...they do not care much....that read is heavy..One child went there to grad school (law) and loved it.  But with undergrad, no one liked the campus much... vibe was a bit snobby.

W&M...plays up the quirky vibe.  Served my bright and shy daughter well...she went there and loved it...the other three...not their scene.  I was a huge fan, of course, as I went there.

W&L..too small, too claustrophobic..too archaic.

Wake forest...cheaper W&M without the better restaurants and the area was a bit downtrodden .

ND..cold, yet vibrant , cloistered, but spirit was infectious...(1 son  went there )

Elon, 3 called it a bit phony...I liked the groomed stepford vibe

USouth Carolina...sketchy is what son called it

College of Charleston..."like going to school on a vacation in a budget hotel'....(I wish this school was better, because i love this city)

Colgate...at first she loved it and then she went in the dorms. And is the middle of absolutely nowhere

Lehigh..at first she loved it, and then the hills and the old buildings brought things down.

Bucknell...way to fratty, and what do we do if we don't frat?

Quinipiac..."like summer camp.".I actually thought is that a bad thing?

Syracuse...the town was a downer...but near a great mall, and they have underground tunnels for the cold. Still wonder that might have been an Ok choice.

Providence...the town was a downer...but boy, the staff was so friendly.

Duke...pretentious, gothic gloom, but if my kid got in...i would have forced them to go?

Fairfield...Old fashioned was his response...but I wonder if that may have been an Ok choice for business.

Mary Washington..mini W&M without the prestige

CNU...lovely...no engineering, which what he wanted. and it is in Newport News..so nope

Villanova...unfortunately saw in a deep freeze., Campus is just not that pretty and undergoing construction at the time..lost out to Boston College for this daughter.

Va Tech..drive by..too big..she said too much stone...really?

JMU..drive by..highway in the middle..nope.

There were others, but thats my main input[/quote]

LOL, that seems like you put a lot of work into it.  Let's just summarize it for you, I'm a frigging negative loser that has no life and is a miserable human being...I probably don't know it but my family hates me.  Took me 30 seconds, have a nice weekend.[/quote]

I went to UVA, absolutely loved the school, think it's incredibly beautiful and have nothing but good memories and would encourage everyone to apply there but... I found this post kind of funny. Why do you guys care if someone else doesn't like the school?[/quote]

Wow, maybe what they say about you UVA sycophants' is true, you really are self-absorbed losers.  A lot more going on here than the UVA comment.[/quote]

Well... as I said I went to UVA so I can't comment about the other schools lol. I'm just saying that it's possible to love your school but understand why someone else wouldn't. Why are you so mad about that?[/quote]
