[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s fully reasonable. DCUM is not at all representative of most parents. [/quote]

Agree. I truly wanted to hug my son's college counselor at his high school when we had our parent-student meeting. Out of the blue my son started entertaining schools in California -which for govt/international relations given what's offered in this area is ridiculous on its own.  Counselor also has a rising Senior and right out of his mouth was that that is crazy and that the flight cost and inconvenience, etc.  It was great for him to hear from a someone else. We told him --hey grad school or professional school you are free to do what you want.

But, nah, no Cali for undergrad.[/quote]

[b]Actually it's rather sad a HS counselor felt the need to interject their OPINION on this[/b].  Most kids are capable of being a 6 hour flight from home and will do just fine.  [/quote]

That counselor was out of line.[/quote]

Not at all.  As parents, we loved that he was going over everything- including finances, location, size, type of campus.  It is a private HS so more like a private counselor.[/quote]
