[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your kid’s outside activities. If they’re only taking courses and studying, even the hardest classes and schools are manageable. However, if you throw in a demanding activity, like a varsity or even club sport, life can be demanding. My kid rows, and he spends 40 hours/week on morning practices, afternoon workouts, and weekend competitions. [/quote] These colleges are pretty demanding. I'm not sure you could get through them without willingness to spend many hours staring into a book. DC goes to Williams and spent the first semester miserable (had no outside activities), and the things his professors were expecting was more than my ivy grad school had expected of me. I had never seen a syllabus with 15+ required books and lengthy ones as a "survey" into history. It was puzzling helping him and feeling lost with words at the rigor the school was expecting.
