<p>I am. I think this will be a great fit for him (ask me again in Nov.). I just wish it had the runner-up-school’s price tag…lol</p>
<p>I think this title is misleading. No college is 100% perfect. </p>
<p>That said, S’s first two years he could not have been happier with his choice. Now that he’s about to graduate there are specific things about the college that he thinks could be improved, but he still isn’t looking forward to graduating or leaving campus and his friends. He says he doesn’t think he could have been any happier any place else.</p>
<p>So far D is pretty much 100% happy with her choice. She’s finishing her freshman year. We’re not as thrilled about her housing for next year, but we’ll see how that works out.</p>
<p>My daughter has been happy every day that she has been at her school. She is <em>mad</em> because it is an LAC and doesn’t have a med school.</p>
<p>Okay, maybe she was a little ****ed at the length of the winter this year! She didn’t enjoy rowing while snow was pelting her in the face.</p>

<p>kxc he does indeed.</p>
<p>DS - CMU - yes, 100% happy. More than exceeded our expectations and his too.
DD1 - NU - not quite. She had to choose between places like U Pitt and Case, and we’re not sure that her choice of NU was the best.</p>

<p>I’m very curious as to how a school that seemed like such a good fit could turn out so badly. If you wouldn’t mind sharing, what specifically were some things that were poor fits? My junior and I have looked at lots of colleges and he’s made a list of what he wants/doesn’t want in a college and it would be pretty disappointing if the schools on his list turn out to be bad fits.</p>

<p>I am ambivelent about my son applying to 2-4 colleges about 3,000 miles away. He probably won’t get in but they are tops on his list. I am really rooting for the small LAS 2 hours away that also is a great choice but I don’t want my fears or sadness to keep him from applying or attending a college far away. (But I’m still going to try and influence him to stay close! LOL)</p>
<p>Have regrets for supporting D1’s choice of career and college…wish we had known then what we know now
Very happy with D2’s choice of school and intended career path
Will make more practical choices with the baby of the family when she gets to the decision making process in a few more years …and will take a very active roll in making sure she has what she needs to go in the direction she should in order to find employment in a field that is more reliable than oldest child</p>
<p>S1 graduated from a big state u. which also happened to be DH’s school…everyone was happy.
S2 is currently a jr. at a different big state u. that happens to be my college…again everybody’s happy.</p>
<p>We didn’t influence/pressure kids to go to these schools. They had other options but chose these.</p>
<p>We were very satisfied with our kids post HS choices, though of course we’d have been ever happier if it had been less expensive. S was pretty happy, tho he thought a few of the profs could have been better (when has that not been the case). D was OK with the flagship CC & her transfer to join S at USoCal. She is happy to have finally gotten into the major & school of her choice there and greatly enjoying pretty much everything, from what we understand. Definitely no regrets. :)</p>
<p>lje,</p>
<p>Could you give more details?</p>
