[quote=Anonymous][quote]Your student needs to completely own this decision. If it's entirely their decision, they will work hard to prove to themselves and you that they made the best decision. That is what you want above all else[/quote] I disagree with this suggestion, especially given the decision may impact options for child#2. College is an investment. Would you give an 18 yr old $150,000 and let them decide how to invest it without any guidance? They're going to be influenced by their friends and social media, just as you shared you've been influenced by the "UVA or bust" sentiment. I'd skip school and spend a day on each campus and take notes - talk to students, get lunch & hang out in the cafeteria, learn about off campus housing, opportunities in desired major etc. and then go to admitted student days. Your family has plenty of time to make this decision. Congratulations on two great choices.[/quote]
