[quote=Anonymous]This again. How many threads can we post a day that attack the Ivies? No. I have a kid at an Ivy. The kid was always VERY independent. I never reminded him about homework or had to coddle him, tutor him or even check his Canvas--every. He managed time extremely well. He was a self-starter. He had a lot of variety--played sports, academic clubs, lots of friends. He arrived on campus and w/in days had figured out where the zip cars were to get him to an activity (non-school related). He joined things in and out of school, won a departmental award, handled an emergency surgery---and was messaging profs from the hospital bed. He found opportunities. Figured out summer internship, etc. There was zero coddling. He had great advisors--but they certainly weren't coddling--they are a research which you can use if you want. I found his roommates all to be very mature for their ages--incredibly smart and accomplished as well.[/quote]
