@DavidPuddy “As a Western person used to being surrounded by mountains, I can confirm the “concern” is psychologically valid! When visiting, one of the first things my son did say: “There are no mountains anywhere”. Out here, we always use them as a point of reference; it is a bit jarring to look up and not see any.”

This is it exactly! DS already qualifies for the Presidential Elite scholarship and will most likely be a NMF, so the scholarship money is absolutely head-turning. Add to that the Honors College and the potential for RRS and Blount and it is certainly a school that deserves a visit, and to us that means more than just the campus. We’ll just have to see if it is too far out of his comfort zone.

I really appreciate all the tips–We’ve already looked at some of the videos. I think I saw that there is some sort of student hiking/camping/outdoorsy club as well. If DS chooses UA, I think that Outdoor Action week looks right up his alley.
