[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really. Certainly my kid and her peers are focussed on programs and rankings. They may have broad geographical preferences (or aversions), but they aren't choosing among colleges based on criteria like best public transit access or highest muni bond rating. The lifestyle choice aspect may be a bigger deal for less academically-oriented kids, but the kinds of kids who apply to U of C are very likely to apply to HYPS and Hopkins as well.[/quote] It's actually the opposite with the kids I know, including my own 2 who were National Merit semi-finalists. These kids apply to highly-ranked schools, sure, but they have the luxury of choice among them and look for the best fit. [/quote]
