1. That town is awful.
2. Those kids in their 2015 Halloween outrage/protest are awful. I sincerely hope people no longer behave like that.

Everyone agrees Yale is located in the most charming small town;

People are open to constructive feedback, but some threads and remarks about OPs schools are obviously false to anyone who knows the schools. Thus the pushback.

As another poster stated, it’s hard to understand the mentality of posters with such strong and negative takes on a school they don’t really know. It smacks of kids dumping on others.

Much weirder are the people who seem to have vendettas against schools they never attended, and never had a child attend. This is just freaking bizarre and I wonder about the mental health of these people.

Sadly, gatekeeping “elite”’status is one of if not the primary pastime on this board. God forbid someone have something nice to say about a school that is not one of the undisputed heavyweights. Haters swarm in to put that school in its place.

This is so true and it speaks volumes about those who chose to behave like that.
