[quote=Anonymous]I know this is an ancient thread and I hope OP's kid ended up happy wherever they went... But for anyone still reading with the same question for current kids - my college freshman is doing fantastic! He chose a lower-ranked state school out west over his targets (and one reach he was accepted to) because he liked the school location, research programs, and clubs/ activities. It's been great. He's standing out in his classes and already talking to professors about research projects for the spring or next year. He has plenty of time for clubs, which is where he's made some great friends. He's busy all the time but doesn't feel overloaded or stressed out. He's just happy and having a blast while still doing really well in classes. I hire a lot of engineers. The ones who did well at lower state school are generally great employees. No shame at all in choosing a less expensive school, as long as you do well there. [/quote]
