College admissions myths, prestige pressure, and the truth about what really makes a college “good.”


In this episode of College Coffee Talk, Andy and Pearl Lockwood tackle the obsession with “rear window sticker colleges” - elite schools that parents want to brag about, but that might not serve their kids best. It’s time to rethink what “best college” actually means.


Topics include:
 ✔ Why harder to get into doesn’t mean better
 ✔ What’s really behind sticker school obsession
 ✔ How families confuse “rankings” with outcomes
 ✔ The hidden cost of chasing prestige
 ✔ Real talk about Ivy League vs. value schools
