<p>@CADREAMIN My D seems really happy with her decision, but I don’t know how it compares to how happy she would be if she had chosen USC. I think she was a little scared by the stories of how competitive USC is (whether true or not) and by the fears about safety, which I probably exacerbated. Adding her father’s emphasis on saving money and being more practical put Chapman out front. My only hope is that Chapman will provide her with as many opportunities to explore her passions as USC seems to provide. I know there is always the option of transferring, but she is the type to stick with a decision and make the most of it. </p>
