[quote=Anonymous]Well…. I’m 50, but I was choosing between Wes & Carleton back-in-the-day.

I ended up at Wes, mostly because I didn’t want to have to fly home (grew up in the DMV). Wes was comfortably far away from my parents, so they couldn’t just SHOW UP out of the blue the way that parents would do to my friends at UMD and UD. But it was relatively easy to get home for holidays and my parents could schlep all of my stuff to and from school in the car.

This sounds silly, but I remember feeling bad for my college friends who were from far away. It really makes logistics more challenging.

Also, Carleton felt too small to me, I didn’t want to HAVE to take a foreign language (I don’t like being told what to do), and they pretty much cost the same.

My outcomes were fine. If you googled me I appear very accomplished and successful.
(Although in the privacy of my own head I still feel like a big mess - like I’m making it all up as I go along. And parenting teenagers is a challenge that no college could EVER truly prepare anyone for…)[/quote]
