[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Princeton is a good time for most.  People obviously take academics seriously, but most people also recognize you don't have to be at the top of your class to succeed, which takes some of the pressure off.[/quote]

I think the people that can do well at what are considered elite or high stress schools, need to be okay with not being the highest in the class anymore.  If you are going for a BS and not moving onto grad that makes it easier. Just a BS/BA from an elite school opens doors. No one is asking for a transcript and reviewing C’s to A’s.

But there are kids. Kids that need to be st the top, need to feel like the brightest in the room. Not content that others are smarter or can add depth to classes, really struggle.

Kids that scrap in andcrealize they aren’t nearly as educated as most others surrounding them really struggle.

But on the flip side you have to remember that some kids DON’T want to be around kids that aren’t as well educated, or see college as a party, or drop classes like nothing. Those kids may not do well in a large public or a probable school.

So it really depends on the kid and their expectations. [/quote]
