[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a dull navel-gazing thread.

These small schools are fine, safe bubbles for a certain kind of student to be coddled in. Kind of similar to a boarding school or academic summer camp for older kids. I agree that the locations are mid for most of them. But college is a time to push boundaries and experience life, not stay protected in a small coddling bubble.

My kids are city kids and couldn't be less interested.

Brooklyn kid here going off to a rural SLAC. how isn't this pushing boundaries and experiencing life. he's lived in a city for 17 years.[/quote]
+1, apparently going out to buy matcha on the weekend is “pushing boundaries” nowadays.[/quote]

He's been doing that since he was 9! And they have "out lunch" here starting in 5th grade. He knows the good halal carts and where to eat in Chinatown. It's fine.

I used to always laugh as a certain nyc person: raised in the city, went to Williams for 4 years, then back to the city. Now I'm raising one! But hey, it's better than going to NYU or, gasp, a school in Boston. Gotta try something new sometime. Will he end up in some rural town in his 20s? I would bet about 5mm he will not. So why not take this time to try something new[/quote]
