A reality

[Cardinaltiger]

<p>I have been reading some students review posts and it is really depressing me. According to that site, every top school has a bunch of snotty jerks who are completely selfish. This makes me sad. I wish people could be happy and make friends. The way to be successful in life is to help others, not compete. UF is looking better every day.</p>

<p>My father went to Princeton. He said it was like that as well. Despite that, I really wanted to apply to Stanford, Princeton, and Duke. However, I am having second thoughts now. Maybe I should save money and go to a state school. Then an Ivy for grad school.</p>

<p>The site itself it blocked on here, but students review dot com tends to be excessively negative. Also, don’t discount the fact that a reviewer doesn’t actually have to be in the school to put a review.</p>

<p>Go ahead and apply, but make sure you visit before you make your choice. There are a ton of really strong schools that have very different social atmospheres from HYPS and the like. </p>

<p>FWIW, I remember being turned off from Duke b/c of the “snotty” attitude I perceived. I liked Vandy, though. (I ended up at Rhodes).</p>
