Have read all these posts over - thanks again everyone.

Even aside from college, it’s just hard to tell what he likes, period.
Like cptofthehouse said, a kid with no really strong interest in anything. He is a late bloomer in many ways. This year we saw him start to take his school work a bit more seriously, which was nice. Hopefully what will follow will be an indication of things that interest him because they are actually of interest to him, rather than that they seem cool. Vague, but maybe some other parents out there will understand…!

He actually likes his brother’s school very much, but chances are it might be too much of a stretch. He did express an interest in Colby College recently. It’s a hike, but we’ll add it to the list.

I like the sound of an LAC education, but just hope they do actually get enough taste of different subjects to find ones that might click. Smaller class size and the opportunity for actual interaction with professors would definitely be a plus.
