I hadn’t had any experience with the Bible Belt kind of thing before that. When I took my daughter to visit in 2013, I felt very much like it seemed like an extension of high school. I know lots of kids are happy there, though.

Truthfully I had never heard anything but positives. But the dorms, many buildings seemed dated (80s and 90s).
It seemed like a NOVA high school which is not what DS wanted in college.
