[quote=Anonymous][quote] I imagine 98% of students choose school's first from the region where they live, or from those that friends and family members attended. [/quote] This is an interesting statement. Our son is not at a college that anyone in the family or any friend has ever attended. It is also not in the local region of our home. So I guess we are in the 2%?? We never had the expectation that he would go to one of our alma maters or follow anyone else. He picked his school based on what he wanted out of a school. I would be interested in knowing if we are "odd" in this respect or if others on this forum picked schools based on the merits of the school itself and not on its regional location or on the fact that family/friends had gone there. BTW he chose a school that none of us had ever heard of before. Amazing, huh? :wink: [/quote]
