<p>Younger S and I will be visiting this weekend from the left coast…he has a formal interview on Monday, plus is spending the weekend to chill with the sports team he is investigating.</p>
<p>Elder D is at F&M, and her problems with the dorms and significant off-campus housing %-ages (reviewed on CC in another thread) and some unfinished public facilities (library upper levels, etc) have raised flags about that school in our eyes.</p>
<p>We toured the school last Spring, enjoyed the visit, appreciated the amped-up marketing that the Pres is leading to help raise awareness of the school, regardless of the anti-marketing spin we have read from concerned faculty who feel “it just isn’t done in academe…”</p>
<p>Care to comment on the “mixed” aspects of what you have heard? We have not heard anything negative (or, to b]put it in PC language, to raise converns) about D-son. I’d be happy to ask the embarrasing Qs while we are there…heh…</p>
