[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a student I don't really believe in "fit," at least in the way that people on this forum describe it. I don't think high schoolers can accurately understand what they like or dislike about a college environment until they actually are in college. I found that after having stayed over with friends at many different colleges, there were many schools I really wanted to go to as a high schooler that I actually wouldn't have enjoyed, while there were a couple of schools I didn't think about seriously/didn't apply to that I regret not trying as hard for in hindsight. There's definitely some importance (don't go to Caltech as a humanities major, and if you feel the vibes are off at a certain school, it's better to avoid) but the super small differences that make the difference aren't really things you can notice from the HS perspective[/quote]Also, despite begrudgingly committing to the school I now attend, I've had the time of my life here and am so glad that I didn't attend some of the other places I applied to/thought were better than this place[/quote]
