<p>"When my (very urbanized) son & I arrived early one a.m. for our tour of Hampshire, he looked at me crossly and asked, “Dad, why are we here?
It’s a barn. In a field.”</p>
<p>After the tour, he matter-of-factly said, “I could see myself coming here.”</p>
<p>My older son was adamant that he wanted a big school in the city. We visited Hampshire because I thought it might be a good fit for him. We arrived for our tour, etc. and parked next to the barn in a field and I thought “way to go Mom - he’ll hate this”. He starts his third year this fall and can’t imagine being anywhere else.</p>
