[quote=Anonymous]We also visited Syracuse (on the Wednesday after the PP who had snow remaining on Tuesday). I went to graduate school there but knew very little about the undergraduate experience. DD and I were both impressed by the ability to dual enroll (for example, Maxwell and Newhouse), the flexibility w/r/t academic programs, and the enthusiastic students all over campus. I also liked what we heard about class sizes after freshman year and I thought the campus looked much better maintained than I remembered, although that might be influenced by the bright blue sky we had that day -- in my memories it is always gray and dreary in Syracuse. DD was swayed a bit by the tour guide's enthusiasm for attending D1 sports events.  I think it is likely she will apply.

Our other visits included UVM, McGill and Barnard, with Barnard the top favorite for DD but it would be a reach.

Last fall we visited Haverford, Swarthmore, Temple, and Drexel -- of those we have visited, my number one school for DD would be Haverford but she has decided she is not interested in a SLAC. (With the exception of Barnard ... I think the location and relationship to Columbia mitigate its size in her mind.)[/quote]
