[quote=Anonymous]If I had to do it all over again, I'd tell my kids to look at schools where they think they'll fit in socially and make good friends. I wouldn't focus on majors during the application process (since their interests changed dramatically in college) or prestige. I'd also take a closer look at what the school can offer the student. One of my children went to a school that's "prestigious" in the DMV but is poor as dirt. There is money for a certain activity, but beyond that, there's not much going on in terms of speakers, campus events, etc. Even the available course list each semester is pretty lackluster and repetitive. So while my kid went to a more "prestigious" school, it certainly wasn't a very enjoyable experience for them.[/quote]
