Drexel was kinda depressing. Didn’t help that it was raining. And that literally is enough to push it off the list for kids who have lots of options and are... 18. 😊 no biggie. I crossed schools off my list for similar silly reasons. Who cares?!?

And this, right here, is the reason why most schools need to increase their percentages of first-generation students to 99.9%. Just to lock your snowflake's entitled ass out. It was raining at the best public university in the country and your precious Larlo decided it was good enough for him?
BTW, it's not 'John's Hopkins', it's Johns Hopkins, you idiot.
Lmao, good one.
It was raining in Ann Arbor?
I see what you did there..
Lmao. All the Michigan families rejected by UVA are pumping Big Blue to feel good about spending $70k.
Big Blue is IBM
Go Blue! Is Michigan

We liked it. Visited in the summer, so it was fairly empty, but the koi pond was cool, and we saw bunnies running between the bushes. To each his own, I guess.

No kids at Michigan but it’s fun triggering the sensitive UVA people. It’ll be okay. Take a deep breath.

Why?
Holy Cross - too small, bad tour.
Northeastern - too disjointed, no sense of a campus/culture.

Hmm, in NOLA right now and felt comfortable walking around, you just have to choose where you are walking, like in any big city. I grew up in Baltimore and definitely find it worse than New Orleans as far as safety - whole different vibe to downtown.
We have crossed off a few schools that felt too urban / ugly. Seton Hall being one, La Salle was another. The area around Tulane - St Charles Ave - was lovely.
Totally agree! We were there for a program last month. The long street on opposite side of campus (Claiborne?) seems iffy. But it’s not unlike going to school in DC; just be mindful of the area that you’re in.
Hope your DC likes Tulane. DD is excited to attend!
