<p>I think all overnight visits are idiosyncratic. At one school, my son’s host had two papers or tests the next day. Nice kid, but not ready to socialize. At Dartmouth Dimensions, the school inadvertently assigned 4 kids to one host, who was an extraordinary kid who made everyone feel at home. </p>
<p>My son was indeed at Westco, johnwesley, but not at Wesfest. It was a Monday/Tuesday. He said the kids were all nice and no one dumped him. But, the Perfect Storm of uber-Wesleyan was a bit overwhelming.</p>
<p>There are likely many kinds of kids at Tufts and Wesleyan. It felt to my son and my friend’s son that the mix was different and it gave life on each campus a different feel. I think a student could get an excellent education at either. But, the OP’s daughter might reflect on what feel she thinks she prefers. Some kids will go one way, some another.</p>
