[quote=Anonymous]It also REALLY depends on the kid. I have 3 college students. One is remarkably smart and also very laid back. He attends a "grind" university and just does his thing (sometimes studies, sometimes does not), is in a STEM major that is known to be challenging and yet still gets straight As. I think most of us knew this type in college: they took 18 hours, they partied hard, they worked a part time job, they played 2 club sports (or whatever) and they still did extremely well. This was not me and this is not my other 2 kids. They have to work hard, do all the problem sets, all the readings, etc if they are going to do well in a challenging environment. Kid #1 just learns by osmosis. The grind school does not grind him down. Know your kid and find the right school for them. [/quote]
