[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is going on With this thread? Juniata is a good small private liberal arts school! Why is everyone hating on it?

I went to a Juniata-like school in the Midwest and it was indeed a soft landing spot between home and adulthood. I needed NOT to be around the sort of grade grubbing and status obsessed kids I went to my fancy high school with. It really worked out for me and I credit the fact that the faculty were happy and so was I… so I could grow academically and socially.

After going through this process as the parent of a not so great student, I am just pleased to find lovely schools for normal kids to grow and find their way and passion/calling. I’m actually a little sad that my daughter has basically crossed one of her options off her list, as I think it would have been a really nice fit for her. It also was the cheapest, so there’s that.

I have gotten to know people at schools most on this board sneer at, but they are just as dedicated to educating students and helping them succeed as faculty/staff at any of the elite schools.

While Juniata wasn’t one of our options, it does sound like a great place and great fit for the right student.  My daughter’s top choice is a school about the same size that is well known for its performing arts programs. Some schools have and lean into their niche.
