D was accepted into CSE Honors (early action). We visited but I’m afraid we didn’t get the flavor of the school. I’d really appreciate it if you could say what you like and don’t like about the school.
What we liked: the head of the new head of the honors program is wonderful and the program has real depth (not simply a different dorm and early registration to classes) in that it not only offers honors sections of classes but also keeps the kids involved in the world outside of college. The engineering library is stunningly beautiful and the people were definitely Minnesota nice. It was also very easy to get to the airport.
The downside: the campus seemed to shut down at 6 but we were there in the winter.
Any impressions/experience would be so helpful. It is a very difficult decision we all need to make. Thanks!
