The comments were from two Davidson adult presenters and one professor.
If, on that basis, you have decided that Davidson is not the right school for your child, well, I wish you and your family the best. My daughter met at least six other prospectives who accepted their admission offers following the Saturday event.
@Rascalous my D18 LOVED Furman!! It was definitely one of her top considerations for a long time - the students there are amazing and she and I both could see her walking that beautiful campus. They hit all the check points… It is a shame that you didn’t get the warm fuzzy vibe from Davidson. It wasn’t on my D18’s list but several of her frineds loved it… however none are attending. And your experience at least helped narrow the decision process! My daughter is struggling to choose between 3 schools that all truly fit her even though they are all just a little different from the next … one more admitted students day to go and then she has to pick! But this part is a little less stressful than waiting for the offers!!! Good luck to all as they make these difficult decisions! It all works out for the best in the l long run!
Happy to report my D. committed to Davidson this afternoon! She had some great options and we expected she’d not decide until the end of the month, but she called it for Davidson and we’re thrilled for her!
Phew! It’s been a long journey and I’m happy to take a break for a while until we’re back at it for S21. Fort., we are wiser now having done this once, and he’s had the chance to visit a number of colleges already!
Davidson2022!
@AlmostThere2018 woo hoo! Congrats!!
@bettzke1 You’re welcome! I’m glad to be of help!
@AlmostThere2018 Thank you! I’m actually committing to Davidson! Congratulations to your D! Hopefully, we will encounter each other at some point!
@Rascalous Hey there! A lot of people speak out of hand. Sometimes they don’t even know they’re being rude or condescending. Something similar happened during my visit to Davidson where a high ranked official (I don’t remember her name) spoke in a way that was condescending towards people with different beliefs and perspectives (religious, conservatives, etc.). However, don’t let a few people’s comments fool you! The students and professors there are amazing! Both professors and students are inclined to create an atmosphere of discussion. Basing your views off of a few presenters who don’t really represent the college is not good, especially if those presenters are not students.
