Fair enough, but let’s be honest: If I hadn’t dropped in the rank background and said only the stuff about loving these sorts of schools, somebody would insist it was a cope. (Exhibit A: the person upthread who insisted that the happy Juniata parent was merely trying to convince themselves that they were happy). Damned if ya do, damned if ya don’t around here. Stay gold, DCUM. |
Of course not. That train only runs in one direction. |
What's the brag? |
So it's good for kids who can't handle life and need mommy and daddy stand ins. |
lol, because in fact there may have been in-laws who felt this way. |
See, and that’s why I like the good faith posters. This just isn’t a good faith response. |
NP. You seem to be the one with a huge chip on their shoulder, trying to promote some conspiracy theory. You have no business calling anyone else Kellyanne Conway, your posts are the epitome of KC's propaganda shenanigans. |

What is a Harvard? |
I think he meant Haverford. It's a college in eastern PA. |
Funny, I figured he meant the town in Worcester County where the inventor of the plastic flamingo was born: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard,_Massachusetts |
Hard to say, could be anything.
In contrast, Juniata is a beautiful river (I've canoed it several times), a beautiful valley, and a very nice little college. |
Good one. |
Right? I like smaller schools for my child. She needs some extra support while gaining independence/spreading her wings. Call it mommy and daddy stand ins if you must. Not everyone matures at the same pace. I attended one of those higher level academic schools, but it was a very self contained campus and a bit of a cocoon, with only 3600 students at the time. I managed to graduate and move out on my own at 21. It doesn't hurt to have that buffer between mom and dad's house and real life. It doesn't mean you're a loser in any way. It's just a soft landing between those stages in life. |
Some kids need to know their “why” before they really hit their stride. Some kids have been though some $h#t in high school and weren’t in a position to perform to their full potential. Some kids are late bloomers. Some kids simply don’t want to be around people with the kind of attitudes that are on glaring display in some of the posts here. Some kids want the merit aid. So many reasons to attend a school like this. Such a failure of imagination and curiosity to not see that. |
