[quote=Anonymous]I have one who just finished freshman year and another in HS and I will say that the hardest thing to do as a parent is to not get caught up in the prestige game. My older DC turned down several more "prestigious" options to go where he felt most at home. Freshman year was a raging success both academically and socially and I'm very proud of him for having the maturity to do what was right for him. I'm not saying that prestige doesn't play a part, but the most prestigious school is not necessarily the best place for your child to to grow. Fit and happiness matter as well when it comes to academic, and later professional, success. [/quote]
