[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is attending UVA and not doing well. The only appeal is the in-state tuition.[/quote]

Sorry to hear this. Do you mean to imply DC is not doing well because of the large, impersonal nature of a state university?[/quote]

That's part of it. DC is not mature and socially adept compared to peers. The drinking and frat culture does not suit DC. A lot of students and professors are not cultivating a collegial environment. DC will graduate in 4 years in a marketable major but it's through sheer hard work and mostly working alone. No friends. No internships.

Obviously DC is mostly responsible for his/her own fortune. But the school didn't provide any lift.[/quote]

You cannot blame any of this on the school.  Sorry.[/quote]

DP.  As a consumer, posters like PP can be wise consumers and choose schools that are a good fit for their kids.

PP was relating her kid’s experience, not trying to assign blame. [/quote]
