<p>erlanger,
I agree. But in reading the stress, attempted suicides, lack of time for social lifestyle, lack of interaction with wide variety of kids – are negatives for the Exeters. We did not choose Exeter because of the IVY push (kid accepted to Juliard and told to go to IVY to keep reputation up). I am not sure that the Harkness table makes up for that.</p>
<p>Would be nice to have best of all worlds - which we thought MBurg might be.</p>
<p>A well motivated student can get the best education anywhere, including the jungles of Africa – but that is not most students.</p>
