[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

To clarify my question, DD was accepted at all the schools to which she applied. My husband and I set a price limit and she received enough merit aid so that they are all affordable options.

There is one school that is the best academic fit for her. But in recent months, she decided that she wants to go to school in a large city. So she has ruled out all but two schools because of this.

I am torn because I don't think that the most important factor should be a school's urban location and I am afraid she is giving up a much better academic experience and opportunity. I know that even if she later decides to transfer, it is very doubtful that she will receive the same merit scholarships. On the other hand, I want to respect her wishes in this process - and I know she will resent us if we "make" her go somewhere else. My husband and I are paying for her education entirely. She is not taking out any loans. Financially, she will only be responsible for extra spending money.

Well it's easy for me to say bc she's not my DD, but if she is passionate about being in an urban setting or going to one particular school then I would encourage her.  [/quote]
