[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine (junior) so far is uninterested in going anywhere that requires a plane flight.  I am sure Occidental is a fine school, but really, is it so different from schools here on the East coast to justify the distance?  Or is it just that people apply to all the schools that meet their criteria and then choose based on where they get in with the best financial package?

This is not a snarky question.  My DS would also like a liberal arts college, and I am not sure how many to visit and whether we should expand our search beyond a car drive away, which is what we have limited it to so far.[/quote]

Yes, we applied to schools that meet the criteria then base the final decision on the financial aid package.

At the time we were generating the list of schools, LA seemed like a great (though unlikely) choice.

Once the news of the full ride came in, I was over the moon! Reality just set in.

If I had it to do all over again, I would definitely NOT even look at LA. I'm still considering someplace closer even if it requires a small loan and for me to come out of pocket a bit.[/quote]
