[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you mean "taking the easy path" because she isn't going to one of her top 20 options or because she is rooming with her high school friend? Those are 2 different issues. [/quote]

Kind of both. I think they're related. I don't mind her going to the flagship but coupled with the wanting to room with her friend, it leaves us skittish about her squandering this experience & not taking her other options seriously. The path of least resistance sort of thing, eschewing new surroundings, new friends.[/quote]

which flagship? UVA is one thing, UMD another ... [/quote]

In what way PP?   :roll: [/quote]

Yes, in which way PP? I'd advocate for UMD over UVA any day.

It sounds like rooming with her friend will offer a secure transition for her from high school to university. Big state universities can be intimidating to navigate, why not let her pull on the social resources she needs to be successful?[/quote]

I do too, but I have to admit that UMD is becoming as snotty and nasty about admission as UVA, maybe worse. Is there even a quota for how many in state students they have to admit?[u] I wouldn't even live in racist NoVA[/u], god forbid send my kid to racist Charlotte/UVA. [/quote]

WTF?  Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
