[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be in charge. Put structure into how to go about finding the right college. He has no clue.[/quote] This is a good point. He has an older sibling who completely ran the process, so I think his foot dragging caught me by surprise. [/quote He is not a clone of his sibling. He needs more structure. Go to more colleges and visit more campuses. Compile a list from which he can choose or reject. Help him figure out what he likes about a campus and what he doesn't. Look at gap year programs. Be the executive assistant to his/her CEO. My oldest gravitated towards large land grant schools. My youngest hates them. He is gravitating towards 4-6k sized schools with a small college town next to the campus. Both are science and math based. Look forthe similarities and differences. If your eldest is in college now, have your son visit for the weekend to get he vibe. [/quote]
