The "I settled for my safety" thread

<p>

<p>Hey, at least Carolina’s a great school. They’ll give you money for research, study abroad opportunities, etcetc–really a top notch institution. But I do feel your pain to some extent. I’m an NC junior, and I would feel somewhat disheartened if I ended up at the same school my laid-back, frisbee golf playing friends (not to hate on frisbee golf–I play with them a bit, but they do it almost every day instead of homework) did. But there’s a lot to be happy about, not the least of which is in-state tuition! And the fact that your less motivated peers are attending doesn’t do anything to diminish the school itself.</p>
