What a timely thread, my D hit us last night at dinner with the news that she was getting cold feet. She has spent the last 12 months looking at colleges and, in the same period, doing everything in her power to avoid any conversation regarding her thoughts and opinions on the schools we looked at. We could not get any answers, she just wanted to avoid the issue. Last night she opened up out of nowhere and started talking about how nervous she was at the thought of being away, that she was already homesick just thinking about it and wondering if she should be looking at colleges closer to home. It would have been nice to know that last year when she specifically said that she did not want to go to college too close to home so she can meet new people.
