Any direction.
Health considerations/emergency wouldn’t require plane trip.


Why can't your adult kid deal with health emergencies on their own? Do you expect them to live within a day's drive their whole life?


you likely don't have a kid with serious medical conditons, take a seat and be thankful. actualy stfu.

While we didn't outright nix those schools, we strongly discouraged them. Thankfully, DC felt the same way about spending four years in an environment dominated by insufferable woke SJWs as we did, and chose accordingly.

P.S. I know, I know: "Hope your DC enjoys Liberty." You're not funny or original.


Well I'm sure they were glad you didn;t join their kind inclusive communities with this intolerant attitude. How's Liberty?

No on Deep Springs - sounded cultlike. I didn't like the ban on outside contact. Also kid has medical conditions so that's a no go.

No on Hampshire a few years back because of finances. Guess we made the right call there.

I heard that UVA-Charlottesville was pretty good. Same with UNC-Chapel Hill. And Texas-Austin. Same with Duke in North Carolina, Vanderbilt in Tennessee, Rice in Texas, and Emory in Georgia. Also Georgia Tech in Atlanta. And Georgia in Athens, GA. And Florida in Gainesville, FL. Not to mention Davidson in North Carolina. Or William and Mary in Virginia.

All forbidden for your children.

Really awesome parenting.

There is a small subset of schools that are not values aligned with our family and I am not willing to give those schools my money. Specifically we won’t pay for schools that teach Christian nationalism.


What schools are you referring to?


There are a LOT of small Christian colleges out there that definitely lean this way. Many of them are NCAA D2 or NAIA so they recruit student athletes who really want to continue their sport at in college but aren't at the D1 level or able to pay for selective D3 schools.

I don't see why anyone would prohibit Notre Dame but Ave Maria, where the tour guide bragged that JD Vance spoke at orientation, no way.


Unfortunately it isn’t terribly hard to find school like this. Liberty, high point (which isn’t even a religious school), etc. There are lots of great Christian schools but a subset seem to proselytize MAGA more than the gospel. I am not giving money to those school.



I’m surprised there’s no one discouraging Liberty or BYU


Liberty isn’t college it’s crap never hire from there

At this point in time all religious and red state schools are out for women . You want to sign their death sentence you sick as a parent

After 2026 mid terms any female in a red state is at risk

If you don’t get this you are an idiot

They wrote it down
Laws in those states are changing fast and they will go even quicker in November

Best one I ever heard of, decades ago, but friend of mine's dad took a compass & drew a couple hundred-mile circle around Newark, NJ. Kid could go anywhere he wanted outside of the circle.

Dad was Newark Chief of Police.

We set a budget but let him apply anywhere — we did discourage the out of state schools that expect out of state students to pay full freight because it seemed like a waste of time and energy.

Of course. I don’t have an unending supply of money. Most people don’t either. Everything depended on the FA package.

Ran NPC. If it was over $60k, we said no.
