The fact that you would dismissed an education in a an environment that is somewhat incompatiable with your beliefs shows how weak minded you are. I only the true warriors will dare jump into the lion's den and not falter in their beliefs. Not only is my pity not misguided but it also shows that you are the one that is intolerant. So scared are you of different opinions in life you are afraid to meet them head on.. you are afraid that you could be proven wrong. Scary guide you are.

That is so sad and,ironically, intolerant. I expose my children to a variety of opinions, as I do myself, and have to go no farther than my own family table at the Holidays for as wide a political, social and religious group as you can get. What supreme ba*** you have to make such a sweeping generalization based on a discussion of how much say a CHILD should have in picking their college. You have no clue as to how and when I chose to expose my family to a variety of things.
And trust me, Berkely is not "somewhat incompatible" for me, I have a brother there now and it is supremely incompatible.

A weak mind is most often revealed when people use insults to buffer personal opinion......and that is really all you have to lean on, personal opinion.

Few people would argue that an 18 year old is at the height of their "best judgement"years. Part of college, for my family, is an opportunity to instill and reinforce their values before they are truly thrown to the world to face intolenant and mean spirited people like you. And yes, its true, people like you are exactly who I do not want my children exposed to. I'll look for people who have varying opinions and manage to express themselves in a civil and respectful manner.

By the way, Howard Dean called, he wants your advice.
