[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just chiming in to suggest checking out Towson thoroughly.  My initial reaction was the same when considering schools for my kid a few years ago, but I've come to learn it's a pretty good school![/quote]

I’m one of the PPs encouraging OP not to make her DD go to Towson. But I absolutely want to be sure to underscore that this is in no way meant to be a “Towson-bashing” thread or advice specifically against Towson. I believe you that it’s a fine school and a great experience for most kids who attend!

The advice for OP is due to the fact that their child has determined that this is not the right school FOR HER and has already decided she will be miserable and “embarrassed” if they “make her” go there. (Is that a great attitude for OP’s DD to have? No. And it’s almost silly in the same way that it is a bit “spoiled” and arguably elitist from someone who has no right to be, given that she did it get admitted into the schools in her state that she clearly regards as “superior” and “non-embarrassing”….but OP and spouse are now faced with decision of whether they “make” DD go to Towson or allow her to go to more expensive OOS school.)
I think they should allow her to go to OOS school primarily bc nothing good will come of sending her to Towson. Will not be good for her family relations, will not be good for her (bc she’s already decided it isn’t), and it won’t be good for Towson (bc you don’t need kids going there with a crappy attitude about going there)…but I still think Towson is a fine institution.[/quote]
