<p>I agree with those who answered “It depends”. Our experiences 4 years ago with DD:</p>
<p>URI: Plenty of action on campus as this is a state school with a busy summer session. This is a really pretty, traditional New England-style campus that showed well even though there’s a bit of hillclimbing involved and it was extremely hot.</p>
<p>Northeastern: Likewise, a hub of activity. Northeastern’s co-op program makes it truly a year-round school so dorms, dining halls, quads and the rest were full of students even the last week of June. </p>
<p>Clark: Small LAC --no one was around! The admissions folk could not have been nicer and gave DD and me a private tour when we showed up too late for the last official tour of the day. But you’re seeing chairs stacked on tables in the dining hall, bed frames stacked in dorm hallways, and truly not a soul in sight. Needless to say, did not go over well with DD.</p>
<p>We will be taking DS to one of the special JHU days in July. Glad to hear that it’s worth the trip; looking forward!</p>
