We are just beginning the college search and I’ve loved the few journey-type posts I’ve found on CC. Hearing how other parents and students approach the process and their different perspectives is really helpful. I wish the OP hadn’t requested the thread to be closed but completely understand why he did. I enjoyed reading his “chapter” posts in the beginning of the thread as his journey had unfolded so far. Hopefully he’ll come back and repost those along with the final “chapters” once decisions come in and his son makes his choice.
