[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll play.  My kid and his tight friend group:

Yale - happy
Brown - mixed bag. 
Swarthmore - mixed bag but happier than Brown guy.
Vanderbilt - mostly not happy
Georgetown - decidedly unhappy
Deep Springs - deliriously happy

If you’re not happy at Vanderbilt or Georgetown that’s what my grammy would call a “you problem”[/quote]

This is a strange comment.  These schools are pretty social in a way that doesn't really appeal to everyone.  I think one of my kids would love these schools and the other not so much. [/quote]

Weird thing to say, and it’s my point exactly - then why even apply there of you are kid #2.  These schools don’t hide their culture [/quote]

Well, funny you should mention this because kid #2 DID apply there. The thing is, they don't quite have a clue and they didn't pick up on the fact that it's a place they probably won't like socially. They wouldn't listen if I said anything...and it's their choice to make.  So - as noted - I can see a person ending up there and realizing - wow - this isn't my style. But I wouldn't look down on them for it...it's all part of life's lessons.

Curious what is the style vibe at Georgetown?[/quote]
