[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We toured a lot of colleges with our kid. Almost all were immediately and often illogically hated and these are the reasons why. This was in spring and fall of 2019.

JMU: the highway and bus system
VT: hokie this and hokie that all day long
CNU: The walmart down the road had the kitchen knife sets locked behind glass
UVA: hated the campus
URochester: yellow jacket mascot
Lafayette: tour guide referenced Harry Potter and a quidditch team
Marist: tour guide mentioned free tutoring too much 
Cornell: everyone was walking and eating alone with airpods in
Ithaca: lots of blue and burgundy hair and black clothes, decided to skip the tour completely
Skidmore: there was some festival in town and lots of guys wearing skirts
UVM: too many beanies for a 60 degree day
Colgate:we literally had to stop the car because a bear was in the road
Villanova:kid misheard the tour guide and spent the whole tour thinking the school had 60,000 students, so had already dismissed it

Ok but seems a little harsh for CNU to be judged based on a Wal-Mart’s display decision.

[b]My kid refused to get out of the car [/b]at Roanoke College because the buildings seemed old, after we had driven all that way. I was so annoyed.[/quote]

You are the second poster to post about "refusal to get out of the car."  I really can't imagine how ashamed you must be to have raised such a brat.  If my kid did that I'd be refusing to help with college.[/quote]
