We returned from visiting the three school’s. Marist was first and dd had an easy time eliminating it because of it’s lack of rigor. She sat in on a class and was surprised that it seemed like no one was prepared.

Trinity went well with an informal open discussion with a professor from the econ department. The surrounding area wasn’t as bad as we remembered it. We also drove by after landing at Bradley in the evening.

Smith was amazingly beautiful and Northampton and the surrounding area was idyllic to me. The young women at the open campus event were impressive in their smarts, poise and accomplishments. It was a dream come true…for me. Unfortunately, my daughter didn’t feel the same.

She didn’t have a magical feeling anywhere. She will talk to her cc and teachers. Two teachers went to Smith and an administrator went to Trinity.

She is bringing up Drexel University where she was accepted into their business engineering program. I am not a fan because I think she needs a teacher that speaks english and I’ve heard that this is a problem they are working on from an advisor when we was there in February.

We need to figure this out soon.
