Disgraceful performance at accepted students day

That was not my experience entirely. I was also disappointed with the speakers, but on the biomed engineering tour, we saw significant undergraduate research projects and spoke with engaged students in range from Soph to Seniors. The lab facilities were fantastic and the faculty were interested in our daughter and who she is as a person.

Freshman dorms are the same just about everywhere, as is the frat scene (though to be fair, we didn’t go to those presentations as we saw the dorms over a summer visit). And if you don’t see the Greek Life Scene on a visit, that doesn’t mean the element isn’t present on campus.

It is a large state school, so I believe the 100 level large lectures to be par for the course and that did not shock me.

So while it was far from the best presentation, it wasn’t exactly nauseating. Please keep in mind that there may be students who did not get into “every school applied to” and have fewer options than your daughter clearly does. Those students don’t deserve such a phrase to be bandied about regarding their choice.
