What Are Ivy League Schools Hiding?
Today’s Thread of the Day is at the parents forum of CollegeConfidential.com. A parent of a soon to be college student wants to know if Ivy League schools are hiding something when they take prospective students on tours.
The schools are historical. On the outside, the centuries old buildings are an architectural delight. But this parent says it is difficult to see the insides of ones their child will actually be using; such as classrooms, dorm rooms, library, cafeteria, etc. The tour guide takes them in places their child will never spend time.
Yale shows the cannon ball room, but not a dorm room. Penn will show off the Wharton building, but that is a newer facility. Harvard won’t show the freshmen cafeteria because of Domna, the Nazi-like cafeteria lady.
What is the real reason they don’t show more of the insides of these prestigious buildings? Is it because once inside, they are nothing but unimpressive, old, dark, gloomy, out-dated facilities? That is what the original poster of this thread is beginning to think:
