[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ND felt like a middle class country club in the middle of Indiana. which I guess it is?

Yale was insanely pretty.

Harvard needs to spend a tiny bit of their billions on landscaping. muddy, flooding, giant puddles and dirt for lawns. plaint some bushes, guys. add some drainage. [/quote]

Notre Dame felt like a very Catholic school in the Midwest. Which it is. But a very nice campus with very nice kids.

[b]WashU is the country club school. All that's missing is the golf carts.[/b]

Harvard is very underwhelming.

Attended WashU orientation in August. Upon request, staff drove parents and incoming students in [b]golf carts[/b]. Beautiful campus and dorms. Friendly and collaborative student body. Great academic and life support from the Student Affairs Office. Forest Park is a great (mostly free) next-door recreational resource. The surrounding Delmar Loop and Clayton area is nice and safe, but less so farther out. Although a bit stifling (high temp and humidity), the weather was ok in August. Less predictable in the spring (tornadoes) and could be bitterly cold in the winter. Frequent reasonably priced direct flights from/to DC area, but need to book at least 3 weeks in advance. WashU is one of the handful of T20 schools providing dozens of full tuition merit aid for outstanding candidates.[/quote]
