[quote=Anonymous]I care very much that my child go to a college that will challenge him and prepare him well for whatever it is he decides he wants to do.  I also care that he find himself amongst a cohort of kids who are bright and engaged in learning (not just there to fill the years between high school and work with a little schooling and a lot of partying) but also know how to have some fun.  Just not too much!  :)  Which college that will be is not knowable this early and may not seem prestigious to other parents ... again too soon to know.  There are so many good schools in this country ... we are very lucky.

So for now, I am just trying to give my child every opportunity to learn up to his potential and also enjoy his only childhood.  I would not want to close off an opportunity to go to HPY later on, as I think they are highly regarded for good reason.  But whichever college can allow him to continue the path of learning at a level appropriate for him at the time would not be disappointing.

Disclaimer:  Neither my husband nor I were even close to smart enough for the "elite" private colleges, so it is much easier for us to feel comfortable with lesser thought of colleges, I'm sure.  [/quote]
