<p>I think you need to remember the most important reason for attending college is to get an education. Ideally, you can find a place that is a good academic match that is also a good social fit.</p>
<p>Your post has limited information so its hard to give advice. Why are you so against the school you dad picked out? Why do you think it is a bad fit? </p>
<p>Anyways, pick out some colleges you like and I would also apply to the school your dad likes. It would be different if you visited the school and didnt like it but I think you should keep an open mind.</p>
