<p>My son has never expressed any interest in University of Dayton, yet he received a minimum of 3 mailings per week from them for 2 months. Then a rep from the school called us. When we said he was NOT interested, the mail slowly trickled off. Now it's started up again. Plus they send him several emails every week! (We have an unusual last name, so it's not likely that they have him mixed up with someone else).</p>
<p>Which colleges have inundated your kids with unwanted advertising?</p>
<p>Wash U Is Obnoxious</p>
<p>University of Evansville. DS expressed NO interest, and has received at least 3 items a week for months now!</p>
<p>Evansvile hands-down. They send you mail even after you are already at another college.</p>
<p>Case Western</p>
<p>Willamette</p>
<p>Tri-State</p>
<p>Angelo State University</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>Case Western, good god</p>
<p>Case Western - daily for months</p>
<p>tulane! nothing beats emails twice a day every day plus mail at least 2 - 3 times a week</p>
<p>When D was a senior, Wash U sent something everyday for months.......even called D at home. She never even applied.</p>
<p>WashU is bad.
Hollins university in Virginia floods me with stuff too.</p>
<p>I applied two years ago, but I still remember tons of mail from WashU and Evansville. WashU even offered me a free trip to campus (which I took) and I ended up applying to the school</p>
<p>The current leader in our house is NYU--so much so that my DD has nicknamed it "Not Your University"</p>
<p>Oh, I agree MarathonMan88. It's got to be NYU followed second by Mercyhurst.
I think we only got one piece of mail from Case Western maybe because we live close by.</p>
<p>Two years ago for S#1: Wash U
This year for S#2: Case Western</p>
<p>I don't really fit in with this...no 1 college has been sending me a ton of mail...but almost all of the mail I receive goes straight into the garbage pile.</p>
<p>On second though, I've received about 5 things from Alabama in the past two weeks...</p>
<p>For whatever reason, we have gotten TONS of mail from NYU and still do, when my son was never interested in going there.</p>
<p>NYU, Evansville, and Emory&Henry were the biggies here. Even though she had the right stats, she didn't get anything from WUStL. </p>
<p>Also got a lot from Liberty after April 1st. Go figure.</p>
<p>WUSTL...DD got a ton of mail from them, something almost weekly for almost two years. The bottom line was that she did not have the stats to consider applying there at all. Also, we're not talking xeroxed paper flyers...we're talking color glossy brochures and other info. Expensive and too much of it.</p>
<p>University of Evansville sends me brochures weekly. It also, unfortunately, seems to have entered me in its database twice. Meaning that I get two copies of everything! I mourn for the trees that vile institution kills.</p>
<p>LSU is also rather obnoxious.</p>
<p>I live in St. Louis, so WUSTL only gives me the token "Looking for a school close to home?" sort of thing. And whenever a letter starts out like that, I replying with a resounding "No thanks!"</p>
<p>Evansville hands down!</p>
