And if it’s any consolation, many students go to their #1 school then it turns out not to be a good fit after all, and/or individual factors (e.g., bad professors in the small major or a cruel roommate) turn things upside down. One very common thread I see, too, is graduates feeling the real pain of paying back student loans (which affect real job and living choices) and regretting that they went somewhere expensive. Never mind senior citizens who are still financially stressed because they wanted to support their kids’ dreams years earlier.
