[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College students care much less about museums and culture than parents. Students choose OOS flagships bc they want a big school, big sports experience. These schools are mostly in cities where the university is the center of the city.

It’s not for everybody, but many students like the traditional college experience. [/quote]

Absolutely agree.  They want the big school, big sports experience - it's not because the towns of the OOS flagships are so great in comparison to their home cities.  [/quote]

I don’t think the towns even necessarily need to be “better”. Just being somewhere different is fun. [/quote]
er.. different is not always fun. [/quote]

You’ll never know if you don’t try. [/quote]
Sure, and they may hate it.

I have lived in different cities and state across the country.  My spouse even moved to a different continent.  Different is not always better.  But, sure, I can understand wanting to try it.

The PP stated " Just being somewhere different is fun."

My point is that just because it's different, doesn't make it more "fun" or better.

Different can be better.  It can also be much, much worse.  My daughter just spent two years in CA for grad school and was so desperate to come home.  She stuck it out but said it was awful.  Not every place is "better."[/quote]

Where in CA? [/quote]
