[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brandeis -- loved the tour guide. Not a pretty campus. Some buildings seem to be falling apart.

BC -- these kids (on tour) are just biding time until they can get to Lululemon for some serious shopping. Panel was the WORST (student rep talked about cutting class and failing b/c it was too early). But the Wizard of Oz hall is way cool

Harvard -- loved it

Yale -- a bit austere, like the idea of colleges

Brown -- love the adirondack chairs

[b]Middlebury [/b]-- beautiful but far out. Is there no ice cream shop in town? (it was summer)

Dartmouth -- loved it. Guy in the booth was so friendly.

Williams -- serene. Great thai food!

Vassar -- loved it. So beautiful (ignored the grotty town)

Muehlenberg - so welcoming! Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Great student reps.[/quote]

My kid dismissed Middlebury as "too Christmas-y"  thought it looked like the set of a Christmas movie.  It was likely beyond our budget so I didn't push but inside I was screaming 'this is my all-time vision of the most idyllic college and I've raised my kid to have no taste.'
We both liked the co-operative farm though so I guess DC isn't entirely without taste.[/quote]

Hahahahaha! It does look like the setting for a Hallmark movie, A very lefty Hallmark movie![/quote]
