[quote=Anonymous]Did not visit Agnes Scott, but we visited Bryn Mawr, Smith, Wellesley, and Mount Holyoke. Daughter ended up EDing at Bryn Mawr and loves it but she also loved Smith. Just wanted to be closer to a big city. MHC is in the middle of nowhere. Just something to consider. We got vibes of where fun goes to die at Wellesley, although honestly it’s not like BMC is some big party school. Wellesley and Smith are higher in the rankings but you can get merit aid at MHC (and Bryn Mawr—my daughter did even though we did ED). I think the northeast schools have a lot of similarities and it’s so hard to tell from one visit. Visits can be influenced by so many things. Smith is nice because of the open curriculum. One thing to check is what the intended major is and how many classes are offered. My daughter has a major with very limited classes, and it’s made registration difficult. For us, MHC would be a real pain to get back and forth. Same with Smith. All of the schools (didn’t see Agnes Scott) are pretty. Some other things to consider is that theoretically you can take classes at the consortium in MA but I don’t think it’s that easy. I kind of wish my kid would have applied to Wellesley because I’m a snob (kidding not kidding). It’s the most prestigious. But I’m not at all sorry about the 35,000 a year we’re saving—assuming she got in. [/quote]
