[quote=Anonymous]I can only give you an anecdote. My sister had moved to a small town in the upper NE. My niece is very smart, and she was the big fish in a small pond. But, she was not challenged. She was pretty bored. They eventually moved to a bigger town with a ton of smart kids. My niece was unprepared for the challenge. I think she got really stressed out at one point early on trying to keep up, and of course, felt down that she was no longer the big fish. Eventually, she did catch up, but it was quite a shock to her and stressful. But this was in HS, where she still had support at home. I would think that if this happened in college, where she had no support and didn't know anyone, it would've been much harder for her. How far is the next biggest town that has more challenging classes? Can you commute?[/quote]
