<p>Weenie–
I dragged my son kicking and screaming to see Rose last year, and he surprised himself and really liked it. I was actually surprised at how much I liked it. We must have visited 12 schools–and I’ve been a student at least 7 others–and I would put Rose (and Olin) at the top of my list. </p>
<p>I think Rose is a hidden gem. If it were on the east coast, it would be impossible to get in.</p>
<p>Having attended university in Ontario just north of upstate New York, I would caution that you think carefully about location unless your son really loves winter. I grew up in the midwest and didn’t think that weather would make a big difference, but I found the winters in that area to be harsh and depressing. </p>
<p>If there is any way that you can visit, I strongly encourage you to do so.</p>
