@bernie12 not really sure what you’re trying to say. For high school, I go to a science-focused school that doesn’t have sports and basically only has science clubs, and I don’t like it at all, so I wanted a change. Yes, you can have balance wherever you go, but some schools foster balance more than others. Very few schools have the high level sports and interesting city Vanderbilt does combined with one of the best educations you can get, which in itself provides balance. It’s not about myself wanting balance, because I would make balance for myself anywhere, but it’s about the culture of balance, which at my current school is looked down upon.
