My kid wanted a place that’s a lot more college like than homelike

Your kid is not alone, @417WHB and, because I didn’t find CC until after M10, we didn’t know to think or care about almost anything posted on this forum besides strong academics. We made no spreadsheets or lists or visit notes. Things like traditions, seated meals, good food, homeyness, town integration, matriculation stats, boarding vs. day percentages, etc. never crossed our minds. We just assumed that kiddo would be safe, relatively looked after, well-educated, and mostly in one piece at graduation from any BS, so they were all pretty much alike to us. I made my final choice based on the beauty of the campus, but ChoatieKid chose otherwise. He, too, was looking for a college experience, something totally different from LPS. And a chance to get away from the 'rents. We told him to apply and, if he got in anywhere, he could go.
