<p>People are so caught up over statistics of top 25 or so colleges/universitys, they fail to realize that there are plenty of other excellent locations of secondary education. College is what you make of it and essentially you will be happy if you want to succeed. While you many not be basking in the glory of Harvard, many people will end up enjoying their experience just as much as the next person. The real reality is most people will not end up at a top 25 school, but they still will be very happy with the end result. Instead of degrading other schools based on statistics, try to enjoy the college process despite its new added stress in our lives.</p>
