BAD Visit, Need to Vent

There are certain experiences that would bother me more than others. The whole problem with th admissions office fronting the portal into a college is that your student really has little to do with them after s/he is in college. The same with the host student. I agree that the Admissions Office did not do a good job here, but what is your son going to have to do with them once he is at that school? Skrlvr has some good points there. The big reason I would say to eliminate the school is because of the bad taste in your mouth about it that might affect how you look at every and anything that happens at the school. And believe me, even perfect visits at dream schools do not mean that the experience when the student gets there is going to be ideal. I know too many kids who wanted out of their dream schools.
