DP but I assume they are referring to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/3aZj9N01pV[/quote]

Interesting. These students seem miserable. My kid wanted the flagship vibe and got his wish at UVA. His two friends who went Ivy were sharing a similar sentiment to the Reddit thread this summer as they were going into senior year (Penn/Yale). The one from Penn came down to UVA last spring for the playoff game and joked about not going back because they had so much fun.[/quote]

If you read the comments you'll see many kids say the same about their schools.  These kids are still kids, they need validation.  I went to Brown and I felt the same when I was 18.  Now I realize it was my own "chip on my shoulder".  However, I do think there is a certain ease for kids coming from privates.   My kid is at Harvard now (complete surprise because we had no hook), and she loves it.  She is not trying for the exclusive (she calls them "stupid") clubs and is comfortable with who she is.  She has made many friends, spends a ton of time in the library and loves it. [/quote]
