[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]William and Mary for my daughter, that sample dorm room they show you on the tour.... ugh not homey at all.  Was a shame because if they hadn't shown the dorm room it would have climbed to do the top of the list. Loved the campus and the vibe though my daughter noticed not alot of cute boys lol.

Also Georgetown, [b]not that we were going to get in[/b], but we went a few times just to explore and the last time we were there almost stepped on a dead rat in the middle of the walkway. That was enough to scare my son away once he read that rats and roaches are a big problem there. I'm sure that happens everywhere but it was a turnoff lol[/quote]

So both you and your son applied?  If you both got in, was the plan to be roommates?[/quote]

Why are you so offended by that that you need to point it out on every thread? I get it... Your kid does everything on their own and is paying on their own too....or you are paying but it's still only their experience alone...or it's your experience to an extent too, but only you know the acceptable way to talk about it.... Just stop. Parents using those words does not mean their children aren't highly independent and capable. You protest to the point it makes me think you have some regrets about your hands off strategy....[/quote]

NP here.  THANK YOU! And regarding Pedantic Parent's long explanation above,[i] no one asked you.[/i][/quote]

There's a lot on this thread, like almost every other, that nobody asked for.  I still think using the royal we when talking about your kid's college search is pathetic.[/quote]
