[quote=Anonymous][quote]If they're smart enough to get into these schools, they're smart enough to know that they can be intense. [/quote] [quote]Kids who are bright enough to be admitted to these schools will do their own research before they even apply. Trust me they know what they are getting themselves into. [/quote] Different kinds of smarts. Being a CS whiz or physics phenom is entirely unrelated to having the self-awareness and wisdom required to anticipate how their personal experiences might play out at different colleges. Depends on the kid, like anything else -- but when in doubt, I always go with questions. Could be really simple, like, What do you think of the campus culture? What kind of reputation does the school have? They don't need to hear my concerns, but I feel like questions are a way of opening up space for them to think things through, should they choose to do so. [/quote]
