[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you feel that going there affected your life in ways that wouldn't have happened if you had attended a less selective school?

If your kid wanted to go there, would you recommend it?

Yes, I met some great people there, who are lifelong friends, and for that reason alone, it was worth it.

And no, I don't recommend that my kid go there. The education I received wasn't the very best. It was good, but not great.

I wish I'd gone to a smaller, less selective college where I stood out.

The fact that I was just average in college did a number on my self esteem. I was a star in high school, and my star disappeared in college.

I want my kids to feel appreciated, and I did not feel appreciated in college. I felt like I was a number, and so, so lucky to be there. People to this day are impressed that I went there. But I didn't like it. I worked so hard to get there, and was disappointed by the education I received. I think I would have gotten a far better education and had a lot more fun at smaller, less-selective school. [/quote]
