[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP, my son feels unprepared to make the school decision. With Junior and senior years affected I think there is a weird time warp they are in because they missed so many milestones. He did not have one real college tour, just online reading and walking about empty campuses. He’s had his drivers test canceled twice because of MoDot cancellations and closures. He said he feels behind. I’m think let him do a year of MC and then transfer once things are really open in 2022 or 2023.

We will see, maybe he will get some acceptances in and change his mind.[/quote]

Don't consign him to community college unless there are financial concerns or issues with maturity or academic ability. You only get a 4-5 year window to have a real college experience. Sure, you can go to college at any age, but after 22 or 23 you become the old guy on campus and it's not the same. You get weird looks when you try to party with the younger kids. Steer him toward a school with few restrictions where he can live the same type of college life we all did. He'll thank you when he's older. Roll Tide.[/quote]

He’s only 17. He can do one year here and transfer to a university at 18 and not be behind at all. Why spend 20k for online classes and sitting in dorm rooms? Maybe things will be completely better in the fall, but I have my doubts.[/quote]
