i always disliked this. especially at higher-end schools, there always seems to be the parent that is, what’s the word i’m looking for, overbearing?, with their kids. they push them towards the front and ask all the questions and the kid just stands there. what happens when they get thrown into the real world?!

horror story: a girl my older sister rooms with, when on one her accepted students day with her father, was taken aback when at the end, her father stated to her “i like it here, you’re gonna go here, okay? i just dropped the deposit off at the financial aid office.” not right. it should be mainly the kid’s choice. they’re the one that has to spend 4 of the most important years of their lives there, right? thankfully my parents don’t do this to me haha
