[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the kid. If they say "I want to go to ____ because they have a wave pool on campus", probably not a good idea. If they say "I want to go to ____ because they have an excellent ______ program, might be worth listening to.[/quote] It depends, the "wave pool" student I'd want to talk more about what is behind that. Does the school have the other factors and that's the baseline but the wave pool is emblematic of a fun student experience. Not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the basics are there. I was pleased that DD, when it came down to her final options, chose the one with the not-as-update facilities for one where she felt the vibe just felt like a better fit (this was at the point where both were solid in having the strong program she was looking for). IMO it was good that she was thinking about where she felt a good social fit vs. the nicest rec center and AC in all the dorms. [/quote]
