txcarol, thanks for the enthusiastic post (and for going through the hassle of renewing your CC membership- fallen off the wagon, eh? so sorry, and welcome back)

D2 made a visit a week and a half ago, and liked it very much. I haven’t heard a negative from her about this trip. I didn’t go- we had to divide and conquer that weekend, so I didn’t get to see her on campus. The friend who toured her around was great, according to my husband, and there were many kindred spirits among the student body, at least by outward appearances. She liked the idea of the block system, and the opportunities for adventures on breaks.

The icing on the cake is that one of her girlfriends a year ahead of her, from a state far from us, has decided to attend there this fall. This will give my daughter a really good visit in the fall, and if this plays out the way I think it might, CC should be at the top of the list.

This kid is very wary of admitting “love” for anything, so it doesn’t surprise me that she is taking this process at her own pace, and with reserved judgement.

I’m cautiously optimistic :)
