[quote=Anonymous]Surprisingly, did not like:
Georgetown, took a tour and found the campus to be dilapidated. Also didn’t feel a cohesive sense of community there
Tufts, campus layout did not make sense. Campus is so spread out and also half the campus is on top of a big hill. And my kid was turned off that you would have to move off campus at some point because of housing shortage
Columbia, turned off by the feeling of concrete/brick jungle for a campus, and also found it depressing how you have to go through security to get onto campus

Pleasantly surprised by:
Dartmouth, beautiful campus and loved that students seem to take advantage of the quarter system. Hanover is tiny but quaint, with good restaurants and shops within a 5 min walk from campus. Also after hearing so much about the animal house culture there, we found it to be more balanced socially than people have described
Claremont colleges, there are still some brutalist architecture, but other parts of the campus are almost idyllic (Pomona and Scripps) with a East Coast old college vibe mixed with a California vibe that is hard to explain but very lovely
Bowdoin, glad we drove the extra distance to see the campus for ourselves. The campus is not very big, but they emphasize community and belonging. Also they have a working outdoor facilities that make the outdoor learning accessible[/quote]
