University of Rochester is severely overrated


Whereas Rochester Institute of Technology is very underrated, as many schools with 'tech' in the name tend to be.

They do have a co-ed grad program, but the undergrad classes are still all female.

I think there is a lot to be said for women’s colleges. They can be a wonderful option for certain students. They fill a needed niche. Some are more elite than others, obviously - my daughter doesn’t have a shot in hell at Wellsley or Barnard.


+1 My DD has Mount Holyoke on her list and I'd be very happy if she ends up there.


Great! I still look back and wish I had actually looked at the ones that recruited me. Smith sent me a ton of beautiful mailers, but I stupidly said “nah, MA is too cold”

We considered Sweet Briar, Hollins and Cedar Crest (PA), but they didn’t make our final list of targets.

I do wish we could add Breneau (GA) to our list, but that is a HUGE nope due to their politics

Already stretching it with NC, honestly.
