[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will she major in if not business?

How much of a homebody/mommy's girl/daddy's girl is she?

MSU is local to me.  It can be hard to transfer into the business school.  I've known kids that left MSU because they couldn't make the transfer.  Indiana is probably stricter.[/quote]

This was my post and I'm still interested in the answers.  IU and MSU are good schools that offer solid academic programs and an enjoyable social experience. My kid applied to both and was accepted to both.  However, we live in the Midwest.

I do feel that it's problematic that OP's kid will likely not be able to pursue the major OP thinks they would like most at MSU and IU.

I also, in parent times, at Penn State freshman year, had a DMV roommate who wished her parents had let her go to JMU.

The reason I asked if OP's kid was a homebody is because if the kid doesn't perk up and enjoy freshman year, things will be more easily fixed if she can go home for a few more weekends or parents can drive down for a cheer-up session.  I myself transferred from Penn State after freshman year.  My roommate who had wanted to go to JMU returned to Penn State.

IU and MSU are fine choices but I lean towards JMU for this kid based on what seems to be greater possibility of accessing the desired major, proximity to home, and likely lower cost.[/quote]
