Colleges with happy kids

[Anonymous]

These posts about misery and depression at CMU, Chicago, Cornell (all on my kids list btw) have me thinking...where are kids HAPPY? Besides Brown? (Ideally, a little easier to get into than Brown!)

This exactly. I think it really depends on the kid and finding the right fit. There are kids who will be happy at CMU and kids who will be miserable. Similarly, there are kids who will be happy at Tulane or Bama and others who will hate it. That’s why it’s so important to look for the right fit for your kid and not just the ranking.

They just had another suicide three weeks ago. No.
They need to raise salaries and increase numbers of counseling staff! Most expensive public undergrad in the entire country and they can’t even get a handle on student mental health.
