I have seen it stated over and over to a kid or parent who has expressed interest in schools that are seen as "very different." A big state school and a small LAC for example.
Why is it so hard to believe that a kid might be interested in both? Why do posters on CC automatically seem to assume that it means that a family "hasn't done their research?"
In my case I did my undergrad at GWU, my graduate school at UW-Madison and law school at Lewis and Clark College. Big and small. Public and private. Urban and rural. I loved all three of them. Why can't that be a possibility for kids looking at colleges?
My own DD has very urban, somewhat urban, and suburban schools on her list. She has public and private. She has big and small. I'm ok with that. And we HAVE done our research.
