Schools you thought you were going to like

<p>still, San Francisco has the best homeless people. Like that guy with the shrub! SO awesome.</p>

<p>OMG he's scared me soooo many times. Crazy, he is. :p</p>

<p>yeah, I don't think I've ever seen so many homeless people... they're like trees planted everywhere.</p>

<p>i feel like i'm going to hell now, though, for saying something has "the best homeless people." I apologize to any homeless people in San Francisco, for belittling your plight.</p>

<p>"I apologize to any homeless people in San Francisco, for belittling your plight."</p>

<p>Bluir,
the irony is they may have less anxiety than you, at this time. lol</p>

<p>I don't think that homeless people go to this site =0</p>

<p>COUGH STANFORD COUGH</p>

<p>lol my campus visit is the sole reason i'm not going there</p>

<p>LOL Kal! </p>

<p>LOL King!</p>

<p>that just reminds me of that age old argument all parents use to get their children to eat food they don't like "there are starving children in Ethiopia, and you're refusing food?"</p>

<p>Five year olds of the world, say it with me: "THEN SEND IT TO THE STARVING CHILDREN IN ETHIOPIA!"</p>

<p>Thought I was going to love Williams. But on my visit, the woman leading the info session was incredibly condenscending and the girl doing the tour was incredibly pretentious.</p>

<p>I didn't apply, and now I'm regretting that because I really hate to think that I might be missing out on a great college simply because of a couple of bad impressions. My friend got an entirely different vibe from her trip. Argh! Post-application regrets.</p>

<p>At least I applied to Dartmouth.</p>

<p>Kiwi,</p>

<p>You are not alone; I felt the same way about Williams and particularly the girl leading the info session. I really thought I was going to like it and I visited twice.</p>

<p>Also, for those who said they expected different things from Brown than they found...I'm there. It was originally one of my first choices. I went to one of their info sessions at a local prep school and was totally put off by the whole dilettante thing. I didn't fit at all. It was hard to take because my image of Brown was totally different than what I found that day. I’m more of a traditional liberal than libertine. </p>

<p>Amherst was another let down.</p>

<p>Princeton didn’t move me at all. I expected something more.</p>

<p>Harvard has to take the prize for the biggest let down of all.</p>

<p>Funny, I loved Brown on my visit. I think the best time to really see a school is at events like Dimensions.</p>

<p>Oh, and I have to agree that Harvard was a complete anticlimactic letdown. All your life you hear about Harvard, and how it's like the nation's oldest college, and how hard it is to get in, and how awesome it is to, but when you're there, all you see are tourists, and tour guides, and a bunch of cute brick buildings. Nothing fantastic or awesome about it.</p>

<p>Slipper,</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong, I still like Brown, of the Ivies it would be my second or third choice. I just realized it wasn't for me for the reasons I stated.</p>

<p>Hasn't he been doing that for like 35 years or something?</p>

<p>I've only been out there twice and I still remember him...</p>

<p>Oh, come on, bluirinka! You were destined for hell long before you logged on this evening!</p>

<p>Hehe.</p>

<p>My parents used that line all the time...now, I always finish everything I take.</p>

<p>I loved Wash U, Dartmouth, Brown, Yale (although it'd be depressing in the winter), Princeton and Harvard.</p>

<p>I did not like Boston University (again, where's the damn campus?).</p>

<p>I didn't like Northwestern, either. I don't know what it was, but it didn't do anything for me. It might have been the fact that some of its departments (anthropology, for example) are housed in HOUSES. But maybe not. Anyway, it was disapppointing.</p>

<p>journogirl,</p>

<p>how's WUSL? I haven't been their.</p>

<p>LOL, kane. how about we compromise on purgatory...that sounds like the perfect place for a Russian Jewish girl.</p>

<p>I have to second the Stanford disappointment. I'd been there a bunch of time before my tour for football games and a few summer things, but when I actually went there and talked with students it kind of made me a little depressed. Everyone was working so hard and ignoring the fact that there is more to life than acing your bio test. Plus, the campus reminds me of a cross between a Mexican drug lord hacienda and a Taco Bell. Wasn't a big fan of Columbia, Penn or Amherst either. And to the person who was disappointed with Cal: "If you're bored with Berkeley, then you're bored with life." Clark Kerr</p>
