[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try to look at the parent pages to see if there are any big issues going on at the schools and maybe cross them off the list. D loved a school and got in. No we are facing a huge housing crisis and are going to have to pay three times as much for housing after freshman year for her to continue at that school. Never mentioned housing crisis in tours.[/quote] I wouldn't necessarily call that a crisis, it's the case at a lot of universities but it is a good idea to find out from parents how difficult or not is the off campus housing search and what people are paying. DS is off campus at VT and we spend less than when he was on campus and it was not hard to find a place. But, one thing you might learn from that parent group is how many kids have trouble with math instruction at VT. Most students have to take self-paced online math classes for the basics. Works for some but is awful for others. [/quote]
