[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent who was stunned at my kid’s immediate and intense dislike of CU Boulder. I thought it would be their dream school - kid is outdoorsy, loves to hike and ski, cousin goes there. Nope, said they hated the architecture, it felt too big, and it was too white.  [/quote]

Lol, this was me back in the day with American. My parents joked for years that it was the one school I got out of the car and was like, "no, I will not attend this school. I want to leave. It's ugly." I hated how incoherent the architecture felt. My parents were trying to cajole me into it, "this is a safety with merit aid, you HAVE to give it a chance...it could be FREE" Nope. It went downhill fasy from there as the tour guide was a disaster and also kind of sad. She was a totally emaciated anorexic who felt compelled to insert her sick, toxic thoughts into the tour multiple times ("the food is disgusting, I'd never eat that fatty slop" "vending machines, that's why people gain the freshman 15...or 40!!!") And could not answer a single academic question. Just astonishingly inappropriate. Everyone on the tour seemed like they were looking at it as a super reach which shouldn't indicate anything but to teen me I was like, "holy crap would this be my peer group?!" I flat out refused to submit an application. Obviously as an adult that's all ridiculous and American is a perfectly fine place,  but I am accepting of thise visceral reactions![/quote]
