[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the peer group is different but that’s not necessarily a good thing for everyone. I did undergrad at a very highly ranked SLAC and found the students bizarrely competitive, anxious, and self-absorbed. Lots of eating disorders, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking. In general a very negative vibe. I did my next two graduate degrees at less prestigious institutions and experienced a much better peer group.[/quote] Ture. I needed to read that tonight. I have been having buyer's remorse over turning down a top 50 school for merit, but just as you say, I know how intense those schools are and my kid is not like that. [/quote]
