<p>Thanks ptmom. My husband did say a car would be helpful in rochester since the buses to not seem to run on a strict schedule that would ensure getting to class on time. I know urban schools come with inherent crime. We just didn’t realize Eastman wasn’t a “campus”. That is why S chose not to apply to NYU because he wanted a college campus atmosphere. Oh well, we’ll see.<br>
Stingfollies, I hear you about travelling to all the schools. S’s IB teachers joke with him they are sorry that high school is getting in the way of his career since he never seems to be at school. He has missed for All State & all county jazz, UMiami visit & Eastman. He was accepted to USC and asked to interview for trustee scholarship. The 2 dates were the same as his Eastman audition or the 2 days following. He ended up with fever and exhaustion, etc at Eastman so was very glad he decided beforehand he didn’t want to spend the next 4 yrs in LA with or without scholarship. Tough choices to make. I think we are done with visits now, just waiting now.</p>
