@AlmostThere2018 We have already been to Mt. Holyoke and it is her #1 favorite school so far. By going to Smith, we can go back to Mt. Holyoke and demonstrate more interest, since I have heard that matters a lot for their merit aid. We will also go back this summer or next fall for an interview. She wants to wait bc she has some activities this summer that will be a nice extracurricular leadership thing she can talk about then. We both thought it would be an amazing fit for her culturally and with her academic interests. If we can afford it and she gets in, I would send her there in a heartbeat.
@amsunshine Oxford didn’t even really have a downtown that we could find. It was a campus surrounded by some houses (not always well kept houses), and the only commercial strip was along a highway and included gas stations, chain fast food and a few shops. It…wasn’t great. I didn’t think I would want her walking around off campus at all. It is also very far from Atlanta, which was a big plus for Emory.
