<p>Such great advice! I so appreciate each perspective that has been shared and yes, Gator88NE, I have a ton of homework as a result! I requested information from Oklahoma since we have been following their football team here since they hired Bobby Stoops(Not that it is an intellectual reason, but when trying to convince a 17 year old boy to step out of his comfort zone and look at something new, the fact that he likes their coach is a good reason. :)) Not sure I’ve ever been to Oklahoma, so I’m sure that would be an adventure. My dad graduated from Miami of Ohio and was recruited to play football at Northwestern, so that’s always been a school we’ve admired, but never really investigated. I guess it will be a source of Saturday homework for me as well. Truly, this is my first time through this process, and I seems a bit daunting at times. In our small town, we get a lot of “why are you even looking out of state?” or, upon mentioning engineering, “why does he need to go to college to learn to drive a train?” True story! As we say here, we “bless their sweet hearts” and research on. It’s a pleasure to hear from each of you!</p>
