Yeah, be miserable. The happiest people I know are doing what they want to do and went to college and studied what they wanted to. The most miserable are the ones who pigeon holed themselves into cubicle monsters.

Just my experience.

Baylor and LSU that I know of. Brown was his dream school but he wasn't expecting to get accepted there last I heard.

Those are very different schools. Brown might be similar to Rhodes but I don't know much about Brown other than it being an Ivy.

Well that's a very diverse group of schools. My SO went Rhodes & so did a few people I graduated with from high school. I've never heard anything negative about the University.

New Orleans and Dallas are major recruiting strongholds. Add in Memphis and you have like 15% of the class from those three cities

Gotta wonder how long NOLA is going to be a fertile recruiting ground since everyone is fleeing the city in droves.

No doubt. But the school has raised academic averages each year by balancing full pays with heavy financial aid.

Also, Trout raises money like he prints it.

Rhodes and SMU seems to have a nice inroad into the Nola private schools. Just before debutant season you read the times pic about the incoming freshman parties for the fall
