<p>Welcome gypsyrose. The net is not too wide and as you stated there are many wonderful schools. Your net did fetch an interesting mix of large, medium and small schools. There are plenty of CC supporters for all the schools you mentioned plus some. I noticed your son is a skier but of course that does not mean the BS he attends must offer skiing as a sport? Making a list can be trying enough and probably the most difficult aspect in preparing the journey. Many of the schools websites can be a chock-full of information, once you’ve mastered navigating the sites. There will be attachments to school magazines and newspapers full of insights provided by students and teachers alike.</p>
<p>The comment by ExieMITAlum is correct. They are building their classes and as we say here on CC, if they are in need of an underwater tuba player then that’s a good thing but they may not need two of them. Approaching this whole adventure from the right perspective can make it a really fun and exciting experience, enjoy the journey!</p>
