[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, Berea is in Kentucky, not Ohio...

(Sorry, as a former Kentucky resident it just slipped out...)

I wanted a specific major as well, and wound up at the University of Kentucky of all places to get it.  When I first started looking I didn't even know what city it was in (Lexington, for the record...)

If you want your kid to reconsider the Northern Kentucky school try to sell it as being in the Cincinnati suburbs.  That's all true "Northern Kentucky" is anyway :)  [/quote]

I realized that as soon as I hit submit!

The schools are both in the Cincinnati metro area.

This isn't really about the specific schools.  The Kentucky school is easy, because if we go to see the Cincinnati school, I can justify driving across the river for a tour, even if he's never taken the time to look at the viewbook and make an unbiased decision about whether it's worth seeing.  It's harder to justify flying to Iowa.  My bigger issue is the fact that he's letting prejudice make the decision, rather than being open minded.  [/quote]
