[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's why kids who pick schools that have nice dorms, good food, great amenities etc have a much better college experience than kids who pick schools based on the academics.

Exactly.

We were in line at Disney last year when my daughter was in the thick of deciding which school to go to. We struck up a conversation with the lady next to us - who worked in college admissions. She said to my daughter “the most important factor is - will you be happy living there for 4 years?   Not how high is it ranked, or what kind of reputation does it have.  That is NOT the most important thing.”[/quote]
I couldn't imagine choosing a college only on academics. When I was choosing, most colleges were very solid at my major, and I would've theoretically done well at any of them. What made me choose was seeing how students lived, ate, and the condition of academic buildings/resources in labs. [/quote]
