Since I decided to go into higher ed admin, I have noticed a really funny trend. It seems that at every institution that I work, the administrators talk about how different their students are from other colleges/universities. More often than not, I've found the opposite. However, I have found a difference between students who attend the "highly selective" colleges (UVA, Berkeley, Duke, etc.) compared to the less selective institutions (NCSU, UNCW, etc.). The UVA/Berkeley/Duke students tend to be a lot more analytical and competative. They also take their studies a lot more serious, but still "play hard." However, students who attend less selective institutions seem to be more sociall well-adjusted and less awkward.
Today one of my supervisor's took me and three other interns on a tour of San Francisco. The city is absolutely beautiful. We got to see the house that Full House was supposedly filmed in, the Ghirideli Square, the Golden Gate Bridge, and ate at a wonderful pizza place in Little Italy. It was a beautiful day, but the fog rolled in when we tried to explore the GG Bridge...so we didn't actually get to see it in all its grandeur haha. Can't wait to go back!
Cheers!
