<p>It depends on your kids. Mine are totally different and their individual paths and experiences could not be further from each other. Daughter graduated public university with BS in Nursing and is employed and just got into grad school. She loved her college years, and her experience both socially and academically. My son attended expensive prep school, is a sophmore in a private college, is a super kid, hard worker, and pays for his spending money and books via summer jobs…but…does the minimum to pass classes, parties like a fool, loves life, spends his money like water, and seems extremely happy with himself and his actions. I keep asking him when he is going to get serious and grow-up. His reply to us…What’s the big deal I am getting passsing grades, secured a paid summer internship, am not in jail, on drugs, an alcaholic, and respect and like everyone.</p>
<p>My wife sat back and looked at each other with our mouths wide open, What the hell do you say to that !! So frustrating…</p>
