Campus Visit
The day started off dark and in the 30’s. We departed shortly after 6 a.m. Most of the drive up North was along the Connecticut River and views were obscured by the morning fog. By the time we arrived on this rural campus the sun had broken through the fog and presented us with glorious views.
“Mom, it’s too quiet here.”
“It is before noon, the students are still sleeping.”
Center Court
The campus is lovely. The grounds well kept. There is even a small apple orchard in the middle of the campus. My son is still not impressed. Lunch was ok, by his standards, by mine there was a large selection.
Then came the time to learn more about his area of interest. He started warming up to the idea of this school being an option. . While checking out a lab, he met a senior who filled him in on what it was really like there. I saw my son become more engaged. (Not too bad for getting up at 5 a.m.) He likes that it is a small school. The professors were amiable and approachable; and know their students by name. It is a small school with only 1250 students.
I was impressed with the school and the views from just about every spot on campus, even the parking lot has a great view.
