[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We stopped at Hood College in Frederick after touring GU, GW, and AU almost as a “scared straight” experience for our prone-to-slacking-off kid. I felt like an elitist snob when I realized that it was truly a beautiful campus with a gorgeous new library, honors college, and a recent multi-million dollar gift for scholarships. It actually went on the safety list.[/quote]

One of the things I have come to appreciate about the whole college application process is that it has knocked most of the elitist snob tendencies out of me. I am a much kinder and enlightened person than I was four years ago, at least when it comes to education. I just assumed my kid would go to one of a few dozen schools I had heard of, assumed he'd be a great student, assumed that schools I had never heard of were not as good as the ones I had.

But oh, it is a great big world out there! So many paths, so many possibilities, so many "right" places to land.

I had never heard of the school my kid will be going to in the fall until a year or so ago. I now wear the t-shirt proudly.[/quote]
