[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think college should be fun and a place where kid is not totally stressed all the time. However, it is totally kid dependent. My older kid just graduated from Cornell. He worked so hard there but just loved it. He had an active social life of dinner parties and meeting different friend groups for meals, running club, outdoor activities, and inter-murals and did go to some hockey games. He did not want a big Greek ra ra school. Hates football and frat culture (yes, there is a Greek system at Cornell too). He flourished and enjoyed interacting with accomplished peers. [/quote] My kid is a STEM freshman at Cornell, and this describes it well. Actually had been struggling to decide between Rice and Cornell (which, surprising to us but according to a Rice student we spoke with, actually wasn't an uncommon situation). For better or for worse, went with Cornell. Having a great time, but probably would've had a great time at Rice as well.[/quote]
