[quote=Anonymous]DH is from NY. He was accepted to Stanford and his parents absolutely refused to pay for it because they were concerned that he'd go out to CA and never come back (they would have been right about that). I lived in MD and also wanted to go to Stanford but didn't bother applying because I knew that my parents wanted me to stay closer to home because I'd been having issues with depression for the last couple of years of high school and they wanted me within reasonable driving distance (again, they were right to insist on this). We both wanted a school with a good climate and decent academics and chose Duke. We enjoyed our time there while still avoiding the more obnoxious elements. I might not recommend it for my kids but that's based on cost. I would strongly discourage my kids from looking at Cornell (weather, statistics of depression, etc) but I wouldn't refuse to let them go somewhere that they had their heart set on - especially Stanford :)[/quote]
