I think there’s nothing wrong with falling in love with a college.
But I will say this. Be careful and don’t allow perceived notions to dictate your opinion. Stanford was my dream school for a long time in high school. Now that I’m here, Stanford is pretty different from what I perceived of it in high school. Would Stanford still have been my dream school if I knew Stanford as I know it today? It’s tough to say.
Duck syndrome exists. But it is slightly exaggerated.
