[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever you meet new people or talk about your kids being college age, inevitably the person needs to know where they go to school. 
Do we all feed into this and then get judged (or appreciated) depending on where they go?

I find myself doing it, and it’s asked of me all the time.

No wonder rankings have become so “important”

I'm not asking so I can judge you.  I'm asking because I want to get to know you, and your kids are part of your life.

I don't care if you answer Montgomery College or Harvard.  [/quote]

So you ask “where is x in college” and they say they don’t go to college they wait tables or they are work retail, and you think it’s still okay to say “where do they go to college”[/quote]

I am assuming that the “where are they in college?” comes after something like “So, what is Henrietta up to these days?”  “Oh, she is away at at college.” “Oh, what college?”

Or “So, is Larlo your only child at Lovely HS?”  “Yes, our daughter graduated a few years ago, she’s in college now?”
