[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could it be that you just happen to know kids raised in a city?  I know that my city-raised Junior can’t fathom spending 4 years locked in a small town. Concerned the social life would revolve exclusively around alcohol and there just wouldn’t be enough off campus restaurants and activities to them happy for 4 years.  Feels like a step backwards for a teen who has enjoyed exploring the city they live in.  I do see much less interest in alcohol from Gen Z as compared to Gen X.[/quote]

Interesting. My kid has zero interest in alcohol or partying. I suppose this could change but it has seemed hard wired from a very young age. I suspect Michael Jackson’s death made an impression — not kidding.

My “sort of” city kid also can’t fathom rural life. DC was interested in Colgate but the feelings dimmed after driving through cow pastures to get there. The town feels like a stage set and not real life. Happy to let the other 22,000 kids take a shot with that school. [/quote]
