[quote=Anonymous]Most of these posts donot resonate at all with my kids’ experiences at two different ivies and William&Mary. The professors show up, care, are almost all good at teaching. Classes are challenging, no canned tests or homework. They invite students into their research all the time. Most classes are small, even in stem. Intro classes often push the kids way out of their comfort zone with extremely challenging psets(thats the ivy stem kid, but all have had challenging coursework). The top schools have top teaching and engaged students who are there to learn and want to learn. It is not much different at all than when I attended a different ivy. Premeds grade grubbed then too, but the vast majority of us were there to learn and loved the challenge. All 3 of mine have had a similar experience (so far—one just started)[/quote]
