[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll play.  My kid and his tight friend group:

Yale - happy
Brown - mixed bag. 
Swarthmore - mixed bag but happier than Brown guy.
Vanderbilt - mostly not happy
Georgetown - decidedly unhappy
Deep Springs - deliriously happy

Wow, my kid has a VERY similar friend group but I would characterize a bit differently:

Yale - happy, but a relationship would make it even better; hard to find at Yale
Brown - very, very happy but not so initially; took a bit to find his groove; LOVES the people; professors amazing
Swarthmore - mixed bag but getting better; which the school was less intense and more chill
Vanderbilt - mostly not happy but mostly the social stuff isn’t quite right; will stick it out and hope for the best
Georgetown - agree, decidedly unhappy; academics fine; social stuff not good for an introspective quiet type; lots of transactional hook-ups; will transfer I think
Deep Springs - over the moon happy; great choice for this kid, but this school is not for everyone[/quote]

So it looks like y'all are parents of two kids in the same "friends group."  BUT the second poster really gets into these boys' business!  Knowing who would be happier with a relationship and who seems turned off by hookups.  Pretty funny.[/quote]

yep it’s creepy - only on DCUM would you find the term “transactional hook-ups”
