Interesting developments over here. First, grades are in and S19 did really well in his courses. And, he has decided to pursue an AROTC scholarship. All good stuff. He’s in the right major (English and writing) and the military path feels right.
But, he is still struggling with the vastness of the Penn State. From a social perspective. He says things like “well, this is more like the real world and I have to get used to it.” That sort of thing. I just listen while thinking “yeah, but you don’t sound entirely happy.”
He has spoken with me wondering if Susquehanna would have been a better fit. Mr. InfinteWaves and I would have chosen for him to go there if it had been up to us. It’s small with an amazing writing program. Combined AROTC program with Bucknell. And as it turned out, one of his best friends is there now as a writing major.
Well, a few days ago, he received a post card from Susquehanna. If he wants to transfer in for spring or fall 2020, they will honor his original acceptance offer. All he would have to do is send over his course work from Penn State. He can decide by the middle of March for fall.
I think it’s good for him to have this option right now. Even if he decides not to take Susquehanna up on it.
