<p>There wil always be unhappy students that stay at a school for various reasons. Actually, WUSTL students overall seem to be a very happy group that are extremely loyal to and pleased with their school. But Tyler is also correct that there is a small minority that never get over not getting into Harvard, Yale or Princeton. It is a shame, but that’s life.</p>
<p>The simple fact of the matter is that most top schools (probably the top 100, if I had to guess) the overwhelming majority of students are happy to be there and “can’t imagine being anywhere else”. OK, maybe the last is a little over the top, although one hears it a lot from students attending many different schools. And that’s a good thing. Hopefully it means that students do a good job overall picking the schools up front, and in other cases adapting to the situation they find themselves in, even if not their first choice.</p>
