Thanks but we prefer not to look at universities but actual finishing schools

OP are you serious? If so, have you looked at a calendar recently? If not, it's 2019.

Crazy question, have you asked your child what they want to do? And no I don't mean you pushed it and they parrot that they want to go.

Nice families either send their children to the best schools they can get into or a historical school. Nice families haven't sent their kids to finishing schools for 50 years.

Sweetbriar, Hollins, etc. are common options and are effectively summer camp for rich kids.

Don't do such a disservice to your child by sending them to finishing school. For the love of God don't do it.

MBA is a finishing school for college. And consulting is a finishing school for MBA.

You’re welcome.

Based on the phrasing of this question, finish school. Like how you put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others

Through much of their history, United States finishing schools emphasised social graces and de-emphasised scholarship: society encouraged a polished young lady to hide her intellectual prowess for fear of frightening away suitors.

Wtf? Is finishing school even a thing? How old school thinking is this? Is this a rich wipepo thing?

No, it hasn't been a thing for decades.

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.

Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Hope you are doing well,

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship.

He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
