How to advise your high school kid when they pick a school because friends might go there?

I also wouldn’t worry too much in advance but I think it’s good to keep an eye on things. I had a family member who choose their school because of where friends were going and they ended up rooming without her and ditched her. It was awful and heartbreaking.

I also agree with the posters who say to make sure you send your D to orientation, even if it’s extra money. It’s totally worth it to expand the social circle and get more comfortable with campus before classes start.
