@Nhatrang my S is right there with your D! done with essays/applications for a while and needs a breather! lol! he is leaning towards UCB, but def getting a lot of pressure from buddies here to go UMich! But in his heart he is ready and excited to try something/someplace new and challenge himself to go out of his comfort zone. Will keep you posted!
@10s4life totally hear what you’re saying, and trust me, being an alum myself (and husband too, we met junior year!), I know and have explained all the amazing things about UMich ad nauseum! We live literally one mile from campus and he grew up going to games, participating in UMich sports camps, his elementary school is a few blocks from campus, and he and friends frequently go down to State St. area to eat at BDubs or other restaurants. Guess we jinxed ourselves by being TOO close! lol! Would love for him to be a Wolverine, but looking like he’g going to be a Golden Bear instead! And I’m excited for him to try something new! It takes a lot of courage to go someplace you’ve only visited once for a few hours and where you don’t know anyone! @sdhotmama we’ll be in the same boat as your husband!! at least UCB and UMich are both blue and yellow (technically maize for UMich, but same dif!). And all of our rivals have red too! OSU, Stanford and Virginia Tech! lol!
@autumnspast that’s such a great article about Bowles! I’m with @ProfessorPlum168 in knowing nothing about it whatsoever and feeling they don’t market it very well. My S is hoping for Clark Kerr as the rooms/dining are supposedly best! He doesn’t mind the walk at all!
