Cushy schools for an unambitious student

College Search & Lists
1

<p>I know a certain young person, young friend of the family, who is very creative and potentially very smart. Work ethic? Not so much. Probably a lucky B-/C- student. Dreamy. Does not do homework, housework, or anything useful, unless texting, playing with cats, etc. is useful. I will say she can be extremely funny, which is a gift. Should this girl go to college? Maybe not. But if she doesn’t go off to college, her mother may go out of her mind. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for a luxurious kind of college, preferably East Coast or California, that would cater to this sort of student, somewhere she might even be motivated to do a little work to go off to? Money is no object to her family.</p>

<p>University of Tampa I think fits that criteria well.</p>

3

<p>san diego state</p>

4

<p>How about Harvard or Stanford with Princeton and Yale as safeties? I’ve heard they’re all looking for students who have experience playing with cats.</p>

5

<p>Are you referring to the illustrious Dr. Frist?</p>

<p>Whittier in CA.</p>

<p>Apparently there are more top schools for cat lovers (Carleton):</p>

<p>This is really quite funny. Perhaps when surrounded by more ambitious people, this young lady will discover her passions and no longer be so useless.</p>

<p>I second University of Tampa.</p>

10

<p>Chapman, in LA (?)</p>

<p>In CA, I think she’d find “her people” at Univ of Redlands, specifically in the Johnston Center program. Basically, a student driven design-your-own education program, with advising of course, that involves evaluations rather than grades.</p>
