Sorry, not been back once she made her decision. Yes, she’s at Trinity (classes started today). She seems happy so far, and made friends during orientation - hopefully that only gets better. Plus, nearly all of her close HS friends either struck out at their reach schools or chose to take $$ at Texas schools, so they’re staying close, and that helps her transition. They’re already planning trips to see each other for big football game weekends.
And as a parent sending my first kid to college, it feels amazing to know she’s less than two hours away. Not to mention making a much smaller tuition payment than at any other schools she was hoping to attend. . It may not have been the admissions cycle of our hopes and dreams, but it ended up being just fine.
