[quote=Anonymous]surprised to like Claremont McKenna. Wasn't a fit for my kids, but it's got a great vibe.

surprised to dislike Georgetown as much as we all did. It literally came off the list.

surprised how I felt about Bing. It's 100% charmless but does a lot for the price tag. I felt great about my tax dollars going there. It's probably what a state school should be like. I think they could spend a little more on design, but okay.

surprised by how "just okay" northwestern felt. after the lake, the campus was a little random. and every kid was wearing sweat pants and slides.

surprised by how much I liked Bowdoin and that whole area. If I had a kid who wanted environmental science, this would be a great place. also, having a local nice hotel is an underrated plus.

surprised in general how much my nyc kids want a 4-yr campus experience. when people here says, "that felt like a boarding school", my kids liked that. they'd prefer medium over small and city access somewhere over none, but they cared about the dining hall. they wanted residential colleges, etc. I wonder if some if it is about Covid ie making the most of everything. (I got my own apartment my sophomore year - I was all about adulting!)[/quote]
