<p>jmmom, Bowdoin is still sitting right where it was atop (yes, I know that’s not a real word , but it fits) the need-only schools. I just couldn’t summon the requisite energy to drive that far from Syracuse for a Sunday only visit and couldn’t use frequent flyer miles to get there that weekend on a multi-city flight. As it was, I’m still recovering. Slowly.</p>
<p>Curmudgeon - the squirrel stays with me - lol.</p>
<p>Jeez, two men arguing about custody of a squirrel. Don’t know how to take that and don’t even know enough about the situation to know whether asking about the squirrel’s age of consent enters into this or not.</p>
<p>I knew there was a lot that I didn’t know but these are things I never dreamt I didn’t know.</p>
<p>Personal attacks are not allowed?</p>
<p>That’s funny…that’s not been my CC experience.</p>
<p>DKE, I agree with you. Too many kids are relunctant to take advantage and explore life at a college beyond the borders of their home reigion. As someone else said, there may be cultural reasons for this, and of course that is valid. I read of a sophmore Latina in California who was essentially forced by her dad to transfer to a college closer to home because it was “traditional” for a young woman to stay with the family and he couldn’t get used to the idea of her being in a co-ed dorm and in living in another town.</p>
<p>I still feel that if the student’s personal preference and “family values” (for lack of a better description) permit, that student should pack her bags when it comes to college.</p>
