It didn’t take that whole show to convince my son. As I alluded to above, his overnight at UofC on accepted students day – his first-ever visit to UofC – was enough for him to declare the next morning: “this will do.” His concerns that the students would be poseurs and snooty “intellectuals” were allayed by his interactions on the overnight. Also, beyond the college is the city. In the city are major league sports – a huge draw for a kid who is fanatical about sports (but not as a participant). And in the city there are also many islands to explore north of UofC. As he told me during our drive home at the end of the year, “I made it a point to get well off campus once or twice a week.” He also got verrry far off campus by spending his junior year at London School of Economics.
