Colleges your child crossed off the list after visiting, schools that moved up on the list. Why?

Cornell - UP. We visited Cornell over the weekend - it was the last school on his list that he hadn’t seen in person so off we went (6 hour drive for mom). Despite the rain, he liked the campus a lot (nice buildings, good amount of green space, nice views - well they would have been nice if wasn’t overcast). On the academic side, he liked that students can minor across schools and the fact that most classes were on the smaller side. Learned that Bill Nye the science guy often comes to lecture in Astronomy - tour guide said class has great attendance as he doesn’t announce when he is coming and kids don’t want to miss it. The highly rated food was also a plus. He loved the location in Ithaca as there were a lot of restaurants/shops etc. Also, he liked the fact that there are a lot of outdoor opportunities in the area. He is definitely going to apply here if his ED school doesn’t work out.
