[quote=Anonymous]Through the process I saw my kid fall in love with a campus, a program, dislike a location, or a student body. Ones that seemed to be a "good fit" based on geographical location and size, when visited provided a real look into the student body which my kid wanted nothing to do with. The final decision was a last-minute addition to his list, one he didn't visit until he was accepted. When it became a contender we made the trip, and it was the Goldilocks equivalent of being "just right". Did it meet with us, his parent's criteria? Not entirely. But it was obvious he made his choice and we didn't have much more we could do to change his mind. It's been a year and he continues to be happy with his decision. In his case, I think he picked the school for himself and did a good job knowing what he wanted. But it was a very long process to get to that point - for all of us - as we figured out all the parts and pieces. Do I think he would be happy at other schools that were on his list? Probably.
