[quote=Anonymous][quote=dcmom12345]She agreed to complete year at current school. She was very honest about what she was looking for-schools for which she perceived the student body as less intense/academically focused and the classes as easier. She finds others at her school "obsessed with academics" and feels their intensity hurts her mental health.[/quote]
There is a wide array of colleges between Ivies and the list you posted.

I understand your where both your DD and DH are coming from. Can you compromise and find a T50 big state? Seems like your DD would be happier with a less intense school like a big state u.  Michigan, GA Tech, Purdue.. locally, UMD, VATech, UVA.... What about those?

DC is a dual math and CS major at UMD.  DC doesn't find the kids at UMD to be too intense. Social scene wise, there seems to be something for everyone. DC is not into football, but football is big at UMD. Even so, DC has found a friend group.   I find kids at UMD to be pretty diverse in terms of interests.

I'm sure the other big colleges are similar.

FWIW, my DC had really high stats in HS, and they wanted CMU but I don't think DC would've been happy with such an intense environment, and DC agrees.  DC is pretty low key, but loves the challenging classes at UMD.[/quote]
