[quote=Anonymous]8:04 again As I thought some more about this, my take is that it's probably even more problematic to blackball a particular college because of one person who will be there as it is to choose a particular college because one person will be there. Encourage her to choose a college based on her academic interests and goals -- so focus her decisionmaking process on things like majors, faculty, internships and other opportunities, etc. Define the process of choice in such a way that where her friend goes is of little or no concern. If it's a central issue to you (as well as to her), you're sending the wrong message and just butting heads. FWIW, I don't think that a rule like "get a freshman roommate through the lottery" is comparable to "I'll choose your college for you" in terms of lasting grievances. [/quote]
