[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Boomer parents were total idiots about college. Glad I didn't listen to their advice. What advice are you giving?[/quote] Curious what was bad? Too much pressure? I am a boomer parent and both my kids went to top 25 colleges but we really tried to have them pick the right fit. We did push them to do extra currics and get good grades, but their peer groups were doing the same so it wasn't a big deal. They are a few years out of college now and don't seem to have regrets. My own parents wouldn't let me apply to a couple of colleges they thought weren't worth the money - including schools like Colby and Conn College. Not really sure why they thought that. I ended up at a SLAC but a more highly ranked one.[/quote]
