So you got into Valentine eh? How big and accomodating is it?
As for the campus, no doubt, it’s beautiful and the facilities are none too bad either. That includes the dorms we got to see and the dorm our D stayed in during her overnight.

I would never “throw out” the quality of the education because the dining was sub-par. The academics are a given when choosing between top LACs, Ivies etc; so other things must tip the scales and one of those things is local “eats.”
