[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just starting the college search, and my list has almost all SLACs for DD. I think she would do best in a smaller environment, and I think the liberal arts curriculum would best suit her.

Obviously, she will weigh in on this, but I’m curious if your DC indeed chose a SLAC if you thought that’s where they would end up.[/quote]

College selection should start with your kid.  Not you.  You really need to let them take the lead.[/quote]

Thanks for the lecture and not answering the question. And for missing the “obviously she will weigh in” part of the post. You’re so helpful. [/quote]

You deserve the lecture because you're doing this all wrong.  What's with the "my" list and she will "weigh in" bullshit?  It should be the exact opposite.  Her list and then you weigh in.[/quote]

In many families the way it works is that parents, kids, and maybe college counselor are all making lists of options, and then using those to make the eventual final list.  If your family can’t handle that kind of collaborative process, I guess your rigid model would work too, but it’s not the ideal.
