Private school kid from Texas being bullied for selecting LSU as his top school

I live in Texas and my nephew was heavily considering LSU until recently. He attends a very elitist and affluent private school where most students matriculate to highly ranked and wealthy private and public colleges. So he's been ridiculed for choosing LSU especially given he's one of the top students in his class. LSU isn't really highly ranked or respected in academia and is actually having financial issues due to Louisiana's Republican controlled state government obsession with cutting funding for public universities in the state.
He always loved visiting LSU's campus, he loves the beautiful women on campus, he loves the LSU Spirit, he loves tailgating on campus, and he loves the ideal of being a LSU Tiger but the approval of his peers are clearly more important and I can't seem to get him to overlook them. And honestly he seems more excited about LSU for everything but the academics which is probably the most important thing. LSU will really get a jewel with this kid but it looks like LSU is almost officially off his list. Any advice?
He's now seriously considering UT Austin, Rice, Duke, Tulane, and University of Virginia.

Tell him to tell his classmates to frick off. It's cheaper than Harvard, still has good degree programs, and has a sports atmosphere.

Tell him to do the honors college if he's concerned about the academics.

Peer pressure's a bitch. The kid needs to go to school where he wants to go. Hell, if he didn't want to go to college, that's his decision.
It's his life. He shouldn't let anyone make the decision for him. No one else is going to take responsibility if it doesn't quite go the way he had hoped. No one is going to apologize for steering him a different direction that doesn't work out.

Your nephew will have to decide whether or not he has the "chest" to choose LSU.

Your nephew sounds mentally weak
College might not be for him
Consider the military

Sounds like he has bigger issues than where he wants to go to school.
Also I don’t think this is bullying.

He will thank his classmates later. If he's actually a top student at a top school, he shouldnt go to LSU.

We did but he's more concerned with the university's image, prestige, and growth which seems to still be too much in a gray area for him. LSU just experienced a decline in applications again this past year he told me which I can't lie isn't a good sign .... I mean the kids is very bright and is doing his research.

I like how you throw this in here when 100% of LA politicians are corrupt no matter the party and about 75% of are stupid too, but go tight ahead and push the narrative.
Now about your nephew, he can stop being a pussy and go where he wants or he can listen to the other little rich shite eaters he goes to school with and go somewhere else. This is coming from a guy that went to a small white elite private school and LSU. The class valedictorian went to Harvard and the two Saluditorians went to UVA and Penn. I have a better job than all 3 with my lowly LSU degree.

How long did you work on this troll post?

Peer pressure to go to a certain college is what passes for bullying these days?
