[quote=Anonymous]Try to pin them down on something (geographic area/size/major/urban or rural?). Then visit a few schools and help them recognize what turns them off and what they find appealing. Plus, you know your child. What circumstances help them thrive versus recoil? My own child had no interest in cliques or heavy drinking...so she decided early on not to go somewhere with there was a big greek presence. No one should argue with me about that, but it is an example of how kids start narrowing down their options. She wanted a school where she could continue her study of a certain language and play a certain intramural sport. She decided towards the end of high school that she had had it with MoCo's competitive nature, so she was drawn to small supportive colleges. This is a time when it would serve teens well to pay attention to their personal needs and comfort zones (and resist following their friends or caring what they think).[/quote]
