[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid should do it if its affecting their mental health. My kid (several years ago) was accepted at CMU and turned it down because he said all the kids looked stressed and unhappy all the time. Obviously that isn't true for everyone, but I do think it can be intense and not every kid wants that environment. There are a lot of other places your kid can be happy and still learn a lot.[/quote] Went for grad school eons ago and the undergrad population had a very different vibe than my or my husband's undergrad (both T10 schools). The students looked stressed even then and just didn't seem overly happy most of the time. It is a great school but definately a challenging school where students put a lot of pressure on themselves. Take a break to let your kid regroup, get in a better mental health place and then decide what is best for THEM [/quote]
