<p>I have become a lot less judgmental about “good” and “bad” colleges. There is a certain school that is popular among students at our local HS, which I had long considered a “bad” school based on reputation and the negative experiences of some of my friends’ kids. However, I have come to know some students who have thrived there and gotten a good education. There is at least one cc poster with a child there who is doing very well. </p>
<p>I think any school can be a good or bad school for a particular student depending on fit, personal experience, etc.</p>
