Both schools provide excellent opportunities, if he takes advantage of them. Kzoo allows for intense research experience with the professors, very small class sizes and a more personalized setting. Michigan has every opportunity known to man, but you have to work a little harder to find them.
He has now banned all college talk until his visits. That concerns me. I want him to get excited about his possibilities. I don't know if he's just wallowing in lost opportunities or afraid to think about it or what.
He has seen all the buildings at both schools. That's not what we do on college visits. On college visits we hear more about the programs available, we people watch to see how the students are interacting with each other. And yes, he read all the posters posted around for the activities on campus. That's largely why he decided not to apply to Cornell. At the student union there, students were eating lunch alone at a table, glued to their laptops. When walking across campus, they were walking alone, not in pairs or groups. At Brown and Oberlin, students were all in pairs or groups, talking and engaged with each other. It was a very different vibe.
