<p>That may be that “It’s inside what counts” but the fact is that the tour guides were talking about how horrible, small, and dirty the dorm rooms are, which are on the INSIDE of the campus. So it wasnt just the buildings which were ugly, and run-down, but the dorms as well (which may I add, they refused to show us!). I just cant see myself going to a school that is in such poor shape. It is also really hard when comparing different colleges that you are interested in, and not taking the appearance of the campus into account. Like I said, I visited Tufts that morning which was very nice, then I drove 15 minutes away to Brandeis and its campus made it very hard to like it.</p>
