[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was #1 on my kids list, until we visited. He decided not to apply within a few minutes of stepping foot on campus.  He said not one student looked happy, all had heads down.  I insisted we go on the tour anyway, which we did, but even I thought that didn't help. [/quote]

That's because everyone there wanted to attend college someplace else.  Maybe not the Medill crew, but you do have to question someone studying journalism these days too.[/quote]

That’s really not true.  It was the number one pick for a lot of the students.  I. Think the atmosphere is not like a southern school though.

I remember when I started school in the northeast one of my friends said he found it so disturbing how all the kids from California and the south would lo right at you and smile.  He found it creepy and intrusive.  He was exaggerating but there is a different vibe at urban schools in the north.   
Anyway the answer is probably that there is no perfect school for everyone.  For some people, Alabama is the perfect school.  Or Florida.  Or ASU.  People want different things. [/quote]

Chicago is not the NE! The Midwest is very friendly- very unlike the dc area.[/quote]
