[quote=Anonymous]My ds is at a very good OOS public, he has had his fair share of issues but generally has been very pleased with the quality of students. There are many smart students to keep him company. He attended a private school and has more than 7 former classmates attending Chicago and few friends at SLACs. Except for a few, almost all the SLAC friends are looking to transfer out. Chicago friends have had a mixed experience, couple of them hate it but it is partly because they realize they don't like the quarter system. Now when they meet they realize that all schools have their issues and that there was too much hype around the college process. I asked my son if he wanted to transfer, he said he had spoken to quite a few of his friends and there are advantages and disadvantages to every school. Unless the disadvantages are overwhelming no point in transferring. I think the pre-professional element of college from freshman year is really dampening the college experience.[/quote]
