Can we talk to the B and C students about college?

Well, we’re in a holding pattern.

He has 6 acceptances, including his #1 and #2 choices. Most of them came with some merit aid. Not enough to make this venture a walk in the park, but probably enough that we won’t be reduced to eating cat food… though spaghetti will probably become a staple in our diets.

He’s talking about attending the local Community College to save money and because he’s comfortable enough at home. He loves his job at a local supermarket. The car he bought himself (against our better judgment, but that’s a different thread) probably can’t be depended on to get him back and forth, so that’s another expense we would have to consider.

But the last time I asked, he hadn’t yet submitted the transcript request for the CC. I know it’s filled out; I signed it.

We have lots of time before May 1. Once we get past his sister’s Sweet 16 this weekend, we’ll probably have to sit down and talk out his options.

Anyone else not sure of which option their child will end up with?
