[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid was lucky to be going to one of his top choices of college (UT Austin). He’s a normal high stats kid with decent ECs, so we’re realistic about his chance for the T30. While his pipe dream school is my alma mater, UT Austin is his realistic dream school. We also like the area a lot. Unfortunately last week a classmate of his (they’re friends for some time, but have sort of drifted apart) gave him a lecture on why he would choose a college in Texas and went on to insult all Texans. I was like, WTF?!  How to deal with crazy people like that? [/quote]

Based on your post, the friend didn't insult your son's college choice.  He didn't say anything bad about UT.  The comments appear to be based on the political climate.  That's very, very different that insulting someone's school choice.

Lots of kids (and their parents) would have those same thoughts, though most would be polite enough to keep them to themselves.  [/quote]

Exactly, and maybe it's just joking between friends, I wouldn't take it seriously. 
I also told my kids don't go to South for colleges, I know vast majority colleges are full of liberals, but just don't want to deal the environment outside college. [/quote]
