[quote=Anonymous]This is for my  two kids who are very different. 
Miami - gorgeous campus. Great area. Very pricy

Tampa - gorgeous campus but no school spirit and students seemed focus on the beach

Flagler - too small. Very closed in feeling.

Duke - did not like that freshman lived “off campus”.

UVA - expected to love it but just liked it. Vibe was not what they were expecting.

JMU - too big. Campus was too spread out.

W&L - surprised by this school. Nice campus. Walkable to town. Liked the academic feel.

CNU - gorgeous campus and easy access to professors/deans.

W&M - no views here. They have grandparents that live nearby so they knew school very well, before the tour. Said no to it due to familiarity.

Mary Washington - DD loved it. I found it to be average. But the area is nice.

Gettysburg- mixed feel. Liked the campus. But seemed that the layout was hodge podge. Cute town.

Lebanon Valley  and Elizabethtown. DD and I  were surprised by these schools. DD liked the attention by the schools and I think DD likes the idea of a big fish in a small pond.

Lafayette - great school and campus. DD is not STEM so not the right fit.

Vassar - I loved it. DD felt like it was way too academic focused. This is surprising as my DD is very focused on school.

Williams - loved the campus. Great views. Cute street. Worried about being out of place from an economic perspective.

Randolph Macon - the best of all of them. That is me speaking not my kids. Gotta stand up for my alma mater. Kids have said no to it, as they are too familiar with the school and want to go somewhere “new”. Which is understandable.

DS is a freshman at one of these schools and DD is a junior in high school. We finished a big tour weekend at the beginning of November with her. [/quote]
