[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD liked Muhlenberg so much that she dropped Brandeis and BC. Nice when your kid likes a safety better than targets.  Very welcoming campus. Seems like great faculty, personal attention and actively tries to help students upon graduation w/ alumni networks and school affiliations. Some nice historic buildings on campus. Gorgeous dining hall. New green science building being built.  Also, voted best food in PA![/quote]

First, that is awesome about Muhlenberg, thanks for the tip.

Second, I have never heard of someone seriously considering Brandeis and BC, so that is really interesting to me. Many kids considered/attended both colleges from my HS but not the same kids. (Brandeis and BU, yes. Brandeis and Tufts, yes. Maybe BC and BU, but more likely BC and other colleges not in Boston area.)[/quote]

She liked Boston area, and we had already planned on looking at Harvard and Brandeis. Thought about BU, but the program there didn't fit her interests. Maybe same with Tufts. BC did, and the architecture looked gorgeous, and maybe something with some rah rah team spirit was worth a try. Also,  we're Christian,  so kind of liked the Jesuit foundation.  But, once there, students and prospective students seemed more interested in appearance than academics, and the core curriculum was poorly presented, so she crossed it off. Good to try different types to see if maybe something different is a good fit.[/quote]
