[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a lot of speculation in the first post. You perceive it is less prestigious and you assume its students will not be a good peer group? How do you know?[/quote] This is a good question. There's not as much distance between elite colleges and their backups as people think.[/quote] +1 There are far more qualified students than slots at whatever narrow list of "top" colleges you have. It's almost certain there will be other smart, hardworking students at this college, and at some point, you're just chasing the next brass ring rather than doing something because you really want to. And your kid might have a better experience if they are comfortable and happy, because they will be more willing to try something new, or form closer relationships with faculty and other students, etc. [/quote]
