[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was picking between two different colleges but basically the identical choices as you describe. We let him pick and he picked the Colorado College equivalent. He’s now a soph and I regret it every time we pay the tuition bill, and in between, too, because DS hasn’t performed as well as we’d have expected in college, nor is particularly engaged there (he enjoys it, but could have gotten this experience anywhere given his lack of engagement), and it is so painful to be paying this amount of money and DS will likely graduate with a mediocre GPA. (We would not have expected any of this, by the way- he was an excellent and involved student in HS.)

I wish we’d encouraged DS to take the Whitman equivalent choice. Being honest just bc it is an anon forum. [/quote]

Interesting, thanks for sharing. Do you think the block system or other aspects of the curriculum or school culture contributed to your child's academic struggles or lack of engagement? Do you think he would have done better academically elsewhere? Just wondering, as we have children approaching college who may also be susceptible to lack of engagement :)[/quote]
