Thank you for the suggestions. Ultimately I look at college as a race, and I don’t mean racism. I mean that you will be there starting with an entire freshman class and everyone is striving for the finish line. Some will be very prepared and race to the head of the line, others will be in the middle and some will be in the back of the pack. It doesn’t always matter how well you did in high school as a measure of how well you will do in college. Its like the difference between playing high school football and playing in the NFL, still a ball, still the same size football field, what could be the difference right? If you fall behind, you get left behind fast. Unless there is someone there with a vested interest in making sure you succeed. He’s being recruited to be the #1 golfer on the team. We already visited, he’s already played with the other teammates. I know what the coach is trying to do. His women’s team has the #1 in the nation for D3, they are ranked 4th nationally. He wants my son to be the vanguard of a men’s team that will do the same as the women’s. I would love that too, but more importantly I want my son to graduate and be ready for the world of working reality. Not a day goes by that I regret not finishing. When UCB was advising me they said under my situation they would allow me to simply take 1 class a quarter, it was still too hard to commute, work a small business and compete with others who were studying full time. I want him to have every advantage that life didn’t give me. I want him to succeed, like all of us do for our kids. I think he can make it at either place. Its just that I have one place where I will have a free for me person to personally kick him in the rear every day to get across the finish line.
