[quote=Anonymous]If my kid had reservations about winters in Maine and wanted to study urban policy, I would absolutely support this choice—especially if there’s merit money involved. A small college in a small town in a brutal winter (that lasts much longer than winter lasts down here) is tough if that’s not what you really want. I love LA and have encouraged my kids to look at college there; one ended up in New England, but I still have hope for the other. There’s a ton to be said for sunshine and stuff to do beyond the campus walls. It’s tempting to prioritize prestige, and if your kid were feeling equally good about both options, sure, pick the higher ranked school. But if prestige is the only reason he’d pick Bowdoin, that seems like a bad decision.[/quote]
