[quote=Anonymous]You say you weren't interested in the stress of being an undergrad, but the stress of transitioning from a big fish in a small pond high school to a university where everyone else seems far more brilliant can bring down one's confidence in a lasting way. Reading the alumni magazine can be tough when you see classmatesv relatively fresh out of college starting tech firms and making tons of money (donating hundreds of thousands to the school!), while you decided to be a school teacher or social worker and may still be paying off school loans. Also people sometimes think you're an out of touch snob and don't realize that many students attended on heavy financial aid.[/quote]
