[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've already posted about DS who's feeling very little _joy_ at school yet is on stable footing and doing well. Posting again to address the thread drift, which states that Super Duper Happiness is found only that the lower ranked universities that all Just Fit Better. Or something.

I suspect I speak for a lot of kids and parents who believe their kids WOULD have a hell of a lot more fun at a big party school with tons of tailgating, many easy Gen Ed majors to choose from, and a centralized vibrant bar, music  and party scene -- or at the very least, a chill, dominant laid back student vibe.

My DS would love that! He applied to multiple schools that offer that!  
 
And none of them are nearly as good as the school / program he chose. None of them will open the same doors directly out of undergrad, just by virtue of graduating (ie, no hustle required).  None of them have the name recognition in his chosen study.

Eyes wide open, he's accepting the interim struggle inherent in his caliber of school /program as the price to pay for[b] the almost guaranteed rewards in a couple of years.[/B] I think this is a valid and rational  plan.
