Thanks for acting as conduit.

Interesting that you found N'eastern ugly; D agrees - - hated it. In fact, she hated every single Boston school that we visited (we didn't go to Cambridge - - why torture the child). And although the two of you agree on N'eastern, D is a sucker for curb appeal and would never say that a campus is a campus. She would definitely prefer green and leafy, which I have explained (but which she doesn't fully accept) isn't often paired urban -- and stumbling upon a nasty bathroom could be a deal-breaker for her.

Other than the Boston trip, D has toured only a couple of schools - - though on one occasion she refused to even get out of the car. Like you, I don't fully understand what D is looking for, and while she hasn't yet found "it," she can tell a heartbeat when a school has no "it" potential.

Thanks again.
