[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a ridiculous post. You get into the best school you can and go. I got into Harvard law from so California and went. No questions asked about weather. How spoiled are your kids? Why are they directing where you are spending $90-&99k (USC) a year?[/quote]

If that is how you make decisions, fine.

Most people want to find a good mix of things that they think will make them happy for 4 years.

My alma mater was actually a late add to my list. My parents actually brought it up to me because a family member had attended. I thought I was good with liberal arts colleges in the mid Atlantic, but I tossed in an application sight unseen. I fell in love the moment I stepped onto the campus and know it was where I was meant to be in the end. I made good friends and good memories. I got to spend 4 years on a lovely campus with decent weather (we still had seasons and occasional snow, but nothing extreme). A college in the south wasn’t the original plan, but it worked out nicely.

I actually realized I could have used more help and guidance. My parents were mostly hands off and just bought me the best college guide or whatever it was to read through. I know so much more now and realize my choices were really odd and not incredibly well thought out. I mean, they were all good schools in the end, but there were things I just didn’t even consider that might have helped me better focus and maybe put a couple other schools on my radar.[/quote]
