Some good advice here. I can’t offer much since, at our house, the situation was reversed. Initially, our S was really not interested in looking at schools outside of CA. As he said, “I’m from here, like the weather and the culture and there are so many different kinds of schools to choose from in CA.” We couldn’t really argue with that, so we didn’t. We let time take it’s course (in retrospect, I probably approached him too early on the subject and it didn’t help when H backed him up on it) and, after watching what happened with some of his senior friends, he started to broaden his horizons.
