[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spoke with parents of two freshmen, one at each of the schools. Both attended our private; close friends of ours. And both kids are miserable. Wishing they had gone to Michigan … where both were admitted. Saying the students are generally insufferable, focused on their patents/ life alternating inventions or academic research, with little interest in just hanging out, socializing, and being in a normal friend group, without hundreds of résumé building activities every week. Are these folks outliers? Or maybe they picked the wrong schools or majors? [/quote] My Penn freshman seems to be enjoying it quite a bit. Seems to be hanging out with a variety of kids (live in dorm, or from class, or from some activities of interest). Has gone to multiple frat parties and hangs out with kids. Who knows...maybe my kid is one of the "insufferables"...but I don't think so. [/quote]
