[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have seen it with my own eyes with my DC who is eligible for one of their top merit scholarships.  I was blown away (not trying to be dramatic) by the campus, the culture, the professors we met with (some randomly) and the opportunities for high stats kids.   Way more impressed than I was as some of the “hot” schools often mentioned here, where the kids frankly seemed miserable and in a constant grind and opportunities were clearly limited for undergraduates.  The sense of pride was undeniable.  And there was in fact diversity on campus.   Is it for everyone?  Certainly not.  But is it a bad place to spend four years?  Doubtful.  [/quote]

People obsessed with "ranking" colleges have not been on most campuses they claim are not good. They also run the risk of bragging about their kids' colleges to people who know better and don't understand that they look foolish. Yes, people think wow you managed to get into a highly rejective college. They don't think, wow your kid is way smarter than everyone else. Usually, they actually know your kid and their high school classmates who went to other colleges. There are bright kids and great educations to be earned everywhere. The country is far more regional than many people realize.[/quote]
