I don’t understand your response. Of course no one knows OP’s son. No one knows OP. Isn’t that what College Confidential is about? In these help-me-decide threads, strangers provide answers to questions based on the information that OPs provide.
In this case, OP asked for, “perspectives on the academic and campus life at these schools” and “is it worth turning down a full scholarship.” The replies I’m reading appear to be from individuals trying to answer those questions. I don’t understand why hooked or unhooked matters. I don’t see where OP asked about how easy or difficult grading is at the schools.
