[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DS will likely either be recruited or a walk on. I get that schools like Bucknell are more “normie” but I think Wes is a notch above academically and prestige wise. When I hear Bucknell, I think smart. When I hear Wes, I think really smart. Hence it seems worth considering even if a large swath of the student population isn’t necessarily my DS’s cup of tea. (This being said, it wouldn’t be a college experience if there were not some alternative type kids floating around.)[/quote]

So, you think your kid should go to a school where most of the kids aren’t his “cup of tea” just because it might have a marginally better academic reputation than a school that might be a better cultural fit? I truly can’t imagine making a decision about college this way. Fit should come first.

(Also, the idea that “alternative-type kids” are just atmosphere or something for the normies is really something. If your kid thinks like you do, Wes would be a terrible fit for him.)[/quote]

Heaven forbid OP doesn’t get the right street cred from the bumper sticker on the back of her XC90. [/quote]

LOL. You have no idea what you are talking about.  It's an XC60.  (It actually is. Our other vehicle is the large SUV)[/quote]
