also, the kids we know that go there love it. It is a good size but not huge. It is the second largest school (after college park) in Maryland. It’s interesting-my d and I talk about it alot, but the only kids we have ever known that were not happy at the schools they were at were kids who went to small schools . All ended up leaving and going to larger schools and were then very happy. It had nothing to do with the quality of education, as they were all good schools like Goucher, Dickinson, Univ. of Richmond, St. Mary’s, etc. All said there was no diversity, not much to do but drink, and “cliquish”.
I guess my point is, the state schools, or somewhat larger schools, seem to have more diversity-- my kids seemed to like them better. But I have come to realize that there is no perfect school and they all have their plus and minus points. I have had “mixed” feelings about all the schools we have visited. I have loosened up alot with the second kid. I was much more difficult trying to decide where my first one would go. Also, my first one was a serious student. My second one is not that interested. Sorry to post in so many "snippets’, but it kept eating my posts…
