@Trixy34. Yes, we did visit SLU. Had a great tour guide. A very personal greeting as well. Nice staff/administration. It is, of course, very isolated, and quite small. Our vibe was the students did not seem too smily/friendly. I know that’s the opposite of what some have experienced. Our concern is the 5-6 month winter, combined with my son not playing sports there. Will he have that much opportunity to find his ‘tribe’? That’s our question. I encouraged him to go to SLU again, and do an overnite, to really get a feel for the place, but he has not gone for it. He’s leaning towards UVM (Honors College) right now. I’d really like him to visit Geneseo (even though he’d be the rare out of state student). It’s not too far from home by car (a day’s drive), and seems to be a real good size, and a real good school. And affordable. But he hasn’t gone for it yet!
