[quote=Anonymous]Just the opposite.  I cared a lot. Not about USNWR rankings or whether I have a “prestigious” car magnet.  I care a lot about fit.  Academic fit. We worked hard with our kids to take their favorite classes and the things they were really interested in and help them find an occupational path they would enjoy and do well.  One that excited them and maximized their interests and talents.  And then find colleges that had good programs and good outcomes in their area of interest. And personal fit.  Someplace where they would meet their people, enjoy the culture, Be active in the community outside of classes and have fun. For example, one kid plays an instrument recreationally and it was important to her to find a school with music performance opportunities for non-majors.

Academic fit, plus social fit (plus financial fit!) takes effort.  But the payoff is happy kids who love their college, get good grades and are on a path to being self supporting in something they enjoy.

But, you do you. Let your kid choose a college because the girls are hot and discover a year in theY don’t have the major he wants and most of the kids a d-bags. [/quote]
