[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could it be that you just happen to know kids raised in a city?  I know that my city-raised Junior can’t fathom spending 4 years locked in a small town. Concerned the social life would revolve exclusively around alcohol and there just wouldn’t be enough off campus restaurants and activities to them happy for 4 years.  Feels like a step backwards for a teen who has enjoyed exploring the city they live in.  I do see much less interest in alcohol from Gen Z as compared to Gen X.[/quote]

Meh.  My DC born and bred Gen Z kid loves her SLAC in a rural area.  She figures she'll have the rest of her life to live in a city, so why not go to an excellent school in a beautiful place?  And you do know that kids who go to city schools drink at bars, right?  (Please stop clutching your pearls . . . I don't want you to hurt yourself.)     [/quote]

Yep. My DC born and raised kid decided on Georgetown. Her dad has always been dead set against any schools not in a city, believing that rural schools have more of a drinking problem. What my kid learned is that when you go to school in DC, social life revolves almost completely around going out to clubs. Expensive, annoying, and not that safe. She does have fun, though. [/quote]
