<p>Hi Cangel</p>
<p>Thanks for all your help.</p>
<p>The whole liberal vs conservative thing is not a big deal. S would probably be comfortable anywhere except for very conservative (i.e. Pepperdine). Just as a mom, I would prefer that there wasn’t a big drug culture…being over-protective, I guess.</p>
<p>Several of my relatives are UCB alumni and I have two nephews that currently attend there. Actually, UCB is on S’s list…perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned “nothing ultra liberal” as I’m just confusing everyone…sorry</p>
<p>Is son excited about going far away to school?? I think so, although, he would be happy going to a college in CA, too. I didn’t know if I was limiting S’s chances by just searching for CA colleges. Actually, when we talk about possible colleges, he does ask about the fishing. Now, this is not really important to him, like he HAS to go to a college that has fly fishing nearby, but he does ask. :-)</p>
<p>Also, although he is a bright kid, and he likes learning about different subjects, he doesn’t like to spend all his time studying. I think it would be nice if the environment was such that the kids had time to have fun and goof off.</p>
<p>Thanks for taking an interest in my S !</p>
