| But I think, mythmom, that your kids had visited pre-acceptance and really knew where they wanted to go (and obviously made good choices!). If a kid hasn't visited at all and/or is having trouble deciding, seeing a school through the eyes of an accepted student can be really helpful. Of course, not everyone can visit, due to time or $$. Communicating with current students, studying catalogs, web sites and guide books are all helpful. I guess hanging out here can be helpful, but it's all just a matter of opinion and the only opinion that matters is the student's (outside of financial considerations). |
