[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IDK.. I have a friend who went to Harvard and hated every minute of it. They hated the people, and I think the weather made them unhappy, too. They were also originally from CA.

They transferred to Cal and was much happier.

Obviously, Cal is pretty prestigious, too, but I do think certain personalities wouldn't like certain types of schools.[/quote]

I hated every minute of Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Class (summer between junior and senior year) when in college.  I loved the attention I received senior year from the opposite sex.  I hated the Basic School and the Marine Infantry Officer School -- every minute.  I loved leading a Platoon and a Company.  I know that this helped me get into a top 14 law school as my LSAT was on the lower end of the range.  I know it helped me have my choice of biglaw firms.  And I know it resonates with certain clients even today.  My point is that sometimes you have to do something that you hate or at least do not like because good stuff is on the other side.

I went to a top 30 undergrad that I loved and love.  Would I have rather gone to Harvard ---- yes.  Did not going ruin my life ---- not at all.  [/quote]
