He is 12 and looked at schools, that’s some maturity there.
My S23 wants to follow his sister’s footstep, 3000 miles away, or anywhere. Distance is never a problem with our kids. Both kids have no dream schools, just general idea of the type of schools they want. Although S23 thinks it would be cool to join his sisters school, as it was also mine and hubby’s. Wants to keep up the tradition. My gut feeling, he will do well with close by schools that are also good like Penn Stat, Rutgers or Stevens. Will have to see.
