[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvey Mudd - My daughter did not like the 1960s motel-like dorms.[/quote]
I tried very hard to interest DD in Harvey Mudd, but it is rather amazingly ugly, especially compared to the other 4 schools in the Claremont cluster. We were feeling a little shell-shocked on our self-guided tour between the Soviet gulag-looking dorms and a near-collision with one of the several students on unicycles. A nice lady stopped us and said she was a Pomona admissions officer with a kid at Harvey Mudd, and she made a great case for the school based on her DD’s experience. My daughter, sadly, had no interest in applying there, and she wouldn’t get out of the car at MIT (which DH and I also really liked).

Surprised to hear upthread that a poster didn’t like the area around Macalester. I think that part of St. Paul is lovely.

I agree with the poster who said that Charlottesville is somehow sinister. I went to law school there and enjoyed it (other than the attending law school part), but there is definitely a lot of weirdness, violence, and unresolved racial issues mixed in with the many great things about the area. It has much more of the worst of the south than is apparent if you are just a visitor. [/quote]
