Thank you all for the encouraging words. We have not visited yet, but you should have seen him light up when he received the t-shirt they sent. He is a pretty studious, serious student and an introvert. I think the atmosphere at Chicago is more his style than a large football weekend party school. However, FSU has a great College of Music and he is pretty serious about continuing to play (alto sax) and FSU offers his two loves of both Physics and Music.
Our income is OK for our area, but not private school income, so we do need to take all that into consideration.
