I wish you a good visit, @3mamagirls, and good weather. There are lots of reasons to move to Massachusetts but weather is not one of them

It’s too bad that your daughter saw the Boulder campus already, because few in the country will be as beautiful. And, frankly, U Mass won’t be! So when you’re there, be sure your daughter hears about opportunities she’ll have beyond the campus. Ask about the five campus consortium someone mentioned up-thread. Ask about opportunities to intern for U Mass students. About events in Boston, group trips to NYC, etc. About their study abroad options. Everything and anything that will give her a broader perspective.
