[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a very good friend who is critical of the university my DD was accepted to ED. We visited the school several times; researched it and thinks it will be a perfect for her. It's private and not inexpensive but she received a substantial merit scholarship and with college savings, will be able to cover the tuition. It is small; not popular with the DC crowd but is where she thinks she wants to go. How do I handle a good friend who keep offering alternatives like Towson or St. Mary's (which are completly fine schools) but not where my DD wants to go. I don't think I should have to defend my DD's choice but it's getting hard to continually just brush it off. [/quote] She’s being rude. She’s passively trying to tell you that your daughter’s choice was not a very good one. Friends don’t typically do that. Just tell her you don’t want to hear it anymore. If you can’t stand up to her for yourself, then do it for your daughter.[/quote]
