[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter was in a top tier sorority at UVA and is now in medical school. I don't think getting into med school means you're locked in the library every night -- but she did work extremely hard.[/quote]

Yeah, one of my best friends from high school is now a doctor from a great med school. She had a wonderful time in college - really good school, really good grades, and she made lifelong friends (20 years later, they still go on vacation together).

I went to a prestigious liberal arts school. Not a science major. I studied hard, but also did go to parties and stuff. I wouldn't say that college was the best time of my life by any means, not because I studied day and night. I just didn't love college. I loved my major, and made some good friends, but I just didn't feel totally settled or happy there. I think some of it was that I was still figuring out what it is that I like to do, and where I like to be - I picked a college in a very small town, in a very cold climate, and it turns out I like to be in bigger cities in warmer climates, etc. I had a much better time in grad school in New York (though still hated the weather).

Your daughter has a lot to look forward in life. College will be over soon enough.[/quote]
