To me this does not sound like “top 20” is a good fit. I also enjoyed down time and “chilling”, and a lack of time to do this plus a lack of time and energy for other activities was perhaps the big reason why I found (many years ago) that a “top 20” university was not a good fit for me for undergrad. For graduate school I was ready and a “top 20” was a good fit. It sounds at least possible that your son might be similar. At least this is something to think about.
