[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regret the college I went to.  My parents didn't provide me guidance or support about college, and I didn't feel like I could ask, felt like I just had to know what to do.  I also didn't feel like I could ask for what I wanted or that I was worthy of a better school.  The college I went to was small and I have great friends and memories from that time but looking back, I wish I had gone to a more well-known school with a football or basketball team I could get behind on college game days and during March Madness.

Lol, I feel the opposite.  I went to PSU for freshman year during the Paterno days.  A younger Paterno was in my English class.  I chose PSU because it was in-state, well-priced, and had every major.  I didn't know what I wanted to major in so I didn't want my parents to pay for an expensive school like the Ivy they went to.  My parents never intervened in my choice because my reasons seemed logical and they had both picked their own colleges without parental intervention.

Other than the classes, I had a terrible time at PSU.  I got straight As, but had to deal with a mentally ill roommate, drunks, poor advising, dorm vandalism on big game nights, and personal safety issues.  I GTFO'd after freshman year.

I probably should have gone to my parents' Ivy or a SLAC.  However, I transferred to Pitt and was happy there.  I definitely needed to be somewhere with less emphasis on football and drinking.
