[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some good advice here.

Here's my story and I'm sure there are plenty of DCUMers with similar stories.  I was one of many kids and the oldest and first to head off to college. My parents were divorced and my dad said I needed to pick someplace in Kansas that was a public school. I literally picked the biggest state U, never visited, was dropped off at the dorm the week before school after spending the summer in a developing country and adapted just fine to my new surroundings once I got over reverse culture shock.

It is my firm belief that there are no perfect anythings - life, college, whatever is what you make of it. Our kids are SO blessed they even get to go to college.

It is more important to encourage our kids to think of what they want/think they want to learn and then go after that, assess and change course as needed.  [/quote]

This is true. We over think everything to the point of not being able to move forward. Not just about colleges, but everything. We want to control the future but sometimes we will end up places we could never have imagined. There are plenty of great schools all over the country. I agree that there are some colleges that could be a lot worse than others. For me, that would have been going to a college that was dominated by drunk frat/sorority types. [/quote]
