<p>Hi Marcia,
Sorry I didn’t see your post earlier. The year is going well for my son. He is really happy. Of course he’s home now - I’m so happy to see him. He likes his courses, likes his dorm (Crawford!); life is good. He has made even more new friends this year. (Remember that from college - how every year you sort of had a slightly different group as kids moved around?) He’s hanging around with many of the international kids and really liking that a lot. Unfortunately, his roommate (who he really likes - so do I) is still struggling academically and will be leaving in December. Denison gave him a second chance this semester and he’s just not rising to the occasion. </p>
<p>He got asked to be a research intern this summer - so he’ll be on campus for 10 weeks over the summer. 
But it’s a great opportunity and I really think he should do it. He gets paid and gets a free room. I’ll just miss him.</p>
<p>We are going to try to make a visit in April for an orchestra concert. We’ve never heard any of the music ensembles he’s in. I sure wish they’d play for parent weekend, but they don’t. </p>
<p>That’s funny - we’ve looked at the real estate in Granville too. It’s EXPENSIVE! If you get a chance walk some of the side streets some day. We walked up the bike path from the B&B we stay at and it dumped us into a neighborhood behind the Buxton Inn there. That was really fun.</p>
<p>Last time we were there was the first time we really went to Easton Center. Wow. I’ve never seen anything like that before. </p>
<p>We are in the “thick of it” searching for a college for son #2. I sure wish he could find a “Denison” that would suit him, but he’s looking at engineering, and so far nothing seems as great as Denison that we can afford. </p>
<p>I’m gald to hear your daughter’s having fun. Good luck.</p>
