<p>Hi,
After visiting a ton of schools, and vacillating among a few of them, my son visited Vassar this weekend, and fell in love. This is his ED1 chance - just wondering how it looked for him? He is also going to try out for a varsity sport. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>I third the conclusion. Good luck! Vassar is a wonderful, beautiful school. Been watching your posts, waiting to see which school he actually chose.</p>

<p>Mythmom,
Thanks so much for all of your help. My son's problem is that he loves almost every school he has seen, except for a few very big ones! He is an easygoing kid, so I think he will be happy at most schools, but he just totally fell in love with Vassar. I think it is a nice mix between his other two favorites, Conn College and Middlebury.</p>

<p>Keep your fingers crossed for him - and thanks for helping me help him.</p>

<p>And thank you to the others who chanced him for me!
