Our youngest was “forced” to attend a OOS public flagship due to the school giving her a full tuition award plus room & board stipend.
She was very unhappy as she wanted to attend one of the unaffordable selective schools where she was granted admission.
The classes were dumb, the other students were stupid, she was never going to be happy there…and then things started to look a wee bit better the very end of freshman year.
She’s finishing up her junior year and is doing great.
Whew.
She does not complain about school much and I have next to zero interaction with it, so I don’t know what I don’t like about it.
