[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC quotes on visit a week ago:

Rutgers - “New Jersey is weird” (Yup but you don’t have to pump your own gas!)

Temple - “Edgy and kinda cool. Not sure if I want my next four years confined to five city blocks…” (Actually was way more impressive than expected.)

UMBC - “Where is everyone? School is in-person, right? Is this one big circle all there is? Where is there a coffee shop I can walk to?” (Answer to that last Q is none.)

UMD - “College Park isn’t that great. But it doesn’t matter I probs won’t get in anyway.” (Truth)[/quote]

Yikes. Please tell me your DC is looking at schools besides these![/quote]

Yeeeesh! Just when I thought I found a fun thread where no one was gonna be mean...[/quote]

DP.  It's obviously not a fun thread.  It may be a bit cathartic, though, for some parents to make snide comments about schools they don't want their kids to attend or that their kids have next to no chance of getting into.  [/quote]

I think this thread is helpful, because the serious and semi-serious observations can prepare kids for what they’re going to see. If I’d understood going in how ugly some great schools are, maybe I would have been more accepting of their ugliness. [/quote]
