[quote=Anonymous]I've been very fortunate throughout my life, but I do look back at my college years as my happiest.  Most of the college friends I still keep in touch with feel the same way.  I went to a big state flagship with a liberal arts major and then to a top professional/graduate program.  Pressure was pretty modest and workload wasn't too bad.  It was relatively easy to distinguish myself.  I had lots of free time and lots of people and resources at the school to enjoy it.  My partner went to HYPSM undergrad and also enjoyed the college experience but not quite as much as I did.
Now my DS is already admitted to my alma mater and awaiting decisions from a number of Ivy's and SLAC's.  I find myself obsessing over whether he will get in despite the fact that, in my heart, I suspect he would be happier at my alma mater.  I believe his outcomes will enjoy a bit of boost if he goes Ivy and the prestige will follow him in life.  Still, I often wonder if I've lost sight of what's important and whether my hoping he gets into a more prestigious college is the product of a warped set of values.[/quote]
