[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is going to sound terrible, but I'm looking for colleges, that have minimal entry requirements, & requiring the least effort.  Back story.  My DS CLAIMS he wants to go to college, but his behavior, & grades do not support that claim.  We're in the 11th grade, & I know we need to start at least identifying colleges, to start visiting and applying next year.

NOT INTERESTED IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES!  I want him to go away, get out of the DMV, which I think will help tremendously, & experience college campus life, hoping it will turn him around.  But, starting out the gate, early signs point to him NOT getting into, for a lack of better words, a "GOOD or Highly sought after" college.  Open to location.

Any thoughts or recommendations?  If you can, please refrain from bashing.[/quote]

OP, have him do his OWN research on a site like collegefactual.com or niche.com where he has to make a profile with his GPA.  Chancing schools and seeing costs were a much needed reality check for my junior 2 years ago. Fast-forward, busted his ass and upped GPA enough to get into 3 of 11 viable options.

College is a really vague concept even for kids who think they want to get a degree.

Let him figure out some of it himself.

Mason - and he can live on campus, so it will feel like he is in a different environement than "home", OP.

Also, Mary Washington or Willemette (OR)? [/quote]
