@circuitrider Sure, Trinity’s gritty location is a driving factor in the scholarship offer, and I’m sure that will play a role in our son’s decision. Trinity’s campus is really quite terrific, but outside the campus walls is not so grand. As for the $100k savings we’d realize should he choose Trinity, those would be earmarked for graduate school should he go that route. But even without those funds, we would be able to pay for graduate school out of pocket so long as my income stays stable (and so far thankfully I’ve been able to keep working from home in the midst of COVID-19).
@RelicAndType ”breathing down his neck” is an overstatement. We’ve told our son that the choice of majors will be his, but my wife and I have discussed with him practical outcomes of different academic paths, and that an economics degree would likely open up more doors than a history degree. But he’s not yet 18 years old, and we’re confident he’ll make the choice of major that’s right for him.
