Destination Tulane? Honors weekend?

My thoughts are there will not be enough new to justify the cost involved, both the $$ and the exam exemption she loses. Since from our other discussions Tulane is already a done deal for her, she should wait and go to Orientation in June. She will still stay in a dorm, although they all stay in Butler, the Honors dorm. At least they did last June. The other advantage is that she will only meet other kids that are 100% going to Tulane, so she might meet a potential roommate. A (now) friend of mine from California that I met during Orientation was there with his son, and the son made some very quick friends and is rooming with one of them. He tells me it is working out great.

So your D will be mad at me for saying this, but save the money and time and plan for June. She’s excited out of her mind, which is understandable, but August comes all too fast.
