[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did not restrict our kids for any place.  Mainly because we have ingrained in them the morals and values that we have.

They were not going to any school because it was a party school or because of Greek life. Even though they are very social.   They were concentrating on their major, what the school could provide for them (mainly access to internships and opportunities), and how close to home it was.  They also looked at merit scholarship money and how much of their college fund they could save and convert to Roth.

My kid is like the gen-Z, suburban dad type, responsible person - that is the topic of a DCUM thread.

Ha! My kid is the same (very responsible, has always seemed older than he is, not a partier, chose his college based on major but also ended up choosing the one that was the least expensive due to merit). Curious where your kid ended up. Mine is headed to UMBC.[/quote]

UMD.  
Congrats on your kid going to UMBC. My firstborn went to UMBC.  Fell in love with the peaceful, cosy and non-chaotic vibe of the campus and amazing close-knit student body.  UMBC is  academics-focussed and rigorous school with awesome professors who actually know you and become lifelong mentors. Student body is mainly studious, creative, quirky, passionate, close-knit, supportive, inclusive and diverse.  Yes, it has a ton of events and concerts and games etc, also...but at heart it is a serious academics-focussed school. Class-size for most parts is small. UMD is also great and has been wonderful for my child but some of the UMD classes are huge.
