But makes me sad to think he will be far away and a long drive or flight.  But he is adamant that he doesn't want to be anywhere where there is cold and snow during a typical winter.  He also wants a completely different experience from his white, UMC high school which he will def get at the schools he is considering.[/quote]

Warm weather is great but best benefit is abundance of internships and jobs. Its much easier to crack into top companies and then transfer to other states if one wants to.

Also its nice to get out of your own echo chamber to listen to others, make you better understand your own ideology. [/quote]

We moved from Texas when my DS was 13. He will go anywhere BUT the South because he wants four real seasons. Regardless of the reasons, though, I agree with you. The whole point of college is to get out of an echo chamber, to meet people who disagree with you, who can open your eyes to different perspectives. [/quote]

I went to school at a fairly conservative college in NC. We had to restart college Dems while I was there. I had LOTS of friends on the other side.

That is not the same as going to states with restrictive/draconian laws. That isn’t different opinions where you can learn from each other.

PS many of my friends who were Rs in the 90s no longer vote for them due to the extreme social positions like this and LGBTQ+ issues[/quote]
