[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to sound horrible, but I only have the best of intentions for asking, so here we go: if your child ended up at a school that was not proportionate to their ability and/or academic history, did anyone care or comment on it, especially their classmates?[/quote]

If I understand your post, your child's abilities and academic experience are superior to his or her college destination ?

Comments from classmates & family friends might be unpleasant, but should not be of any concern as this is a temporary topic.

A reasonable comment from a close friend might be to ask why your child selected this particular school.[/quote]

We obviously don't know for sure yet, but his safety frontrunner isn't well thought of. He could do "better", but he's choosing it for a specific reason, which we're ok with...just wondering if others will make comments. To be prepared. [/quote]

They will probably wonder what’s up but not ask you about it unless they are a close friend [/quote]
