<p>Twinmom, if your D considers Smith, there are both Smith parents (me, Mini, ???) and Smith students (Ticklemepink, Stacy) on this board. I'll try to curb my enthusiasm unless you ask a question. My D is extremely happy there.</p>
<p>Momsdream: my D like G'town and was willing to consider Brown before scratching it off the list. A data point. Go figure.</p>
<p>One point about visiting campuses: <em>when</em> you visit matters very much. We first visited Georgetown for info session and tour on a Sunday that was the end of a four-day mini-break. Session & tour were okay but campus was dead. Came back the next day when all the students were back and it was a very different, much better, experience.</p>
