Is it in the sense of being “awed” - eg. by the history/peers/academics/rigour etc.

Or in the more ‘teenager’ sense of “awesome!” (ie. general fun-times-feel/cool etc).



I meant it in the former sense, and I think it can even be a bit intimidating, at least at first.

I didn’t mean to give the impression that D isn’t happy there. She loves it. She is a very social person, but not a “party girl” in the high school sense (altho she does go to parties pretty much every week at H) and has found the social life at H to be satisfying. She has visited her sister at Yale, and she did comment that she found Yale’s environment more relaxed, as compared to H’s competitive environment. But D is very competitive, so she fits right in at H.
