| He's loyal to Starbucks. When we were in NE I tried unsuccessfully to introduce him to Dunkin Donuts as they still seem to be more abundant. It was at Penn State, in the little town across the street from campus where we found an intersection with a Starbucks on the northwest corner and DD on the northeast corner, he called it the "caffeine front line".
I always enjoy acceptance threads, so ya it'd be nice. Also the enrollment decisions...
You mentioned asking those in the programs. I tagged along at some of the colleges my son visited and explored on my own. Whenever I could corner an arch student I spoke to them (OK, I grilled them) about the school and their experience. I know so little about architecture that I didn't have any good questions, but I did meet lots of happy, engaged kids. Then again, what do they know locked-up in studio? lol... Seriously, I never met one that said they wish they'd chosen a different school. Seemed like the old "grow and bloom where you're planted" thing in action.
OK, I've hijacked this thread long enough. My apologies to the OP.
Back on topic, both UCLA and UVA were recommended to my son last fall. He chose not to apply to any school in the south or LA, so he never investigated.... |
