[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Location really is an issue for these schools, SLU in particular. If it were less remote and easier to get to, it might be toward the top of my kid's list, as it does look like a fantastic school. But it's far and so inaccessible that it's hard to even arrange a visit, let alone think about getting back and forth for four years. The school can't do anything about that, but it's the cold reality (ha--like my pun?). [/quote]

Back in the 1900s I went to look at HWS from the DMV and halfway through the drive there my mom said, no way are you going here, it's way too far. I ended up getting in, but not attending. I have several friends that have over the years, including the son of a friend now, who have all had great outcomes and positives experiences despite the remote location. [/quote]SLU has a ton of kids from New York state so it's really common for kids to crash with a friend in Syracuse, Albany, etc en route to or from school to break up the drive.  Most kids have cars so they drive themselves, or some carpool.

My parents came to campus only for a college visit during HS and then for graduation.  I made every other drive to campus solo or with a college friend.  My parents didn't even come for freshman move in day.  I just drove myself to school.  They had upper classmen helping move stuff for those arriving without help.[/quote]
