<p>CLMom, great color on the dorm setups, thanks. </p>
<p>We used Google earth to “visit” campus and we could “drive” down Bluestone drive. Those dorms looked very nice and from the descriptions you and KatMT gave, sound okay. S1’s school has great examples of Collegiate Gothic - great to look at from the outside but a real rathole on the inside. </p>
<p>TLK, yes, we are all proud members of the Steeler Nation in this house. My Son (S2) has not yet decided on a major. Or maybe he has…what day is it? Anyway…DW and I are fine with his indecision…and encourage it to some degree. S1’s school didn’t require him to declare until spring semester of his sophomore year, and he took every allotted minute. And he will be graduating this spring in four years,
which is something I didn’t accomplish! </p>
<p>I will say receiving the good news from JMU seems to have lit a fire under the boy. Just days before we had a rather pointed discussion about Senioritis and the fact that JMU (and Elon, etc) would be looking for midterm grades. He is now much more engaged in his school work and appears determined to finish strong. Fingers crossed…:rolleyes: </p>
<p>He is also spending time on the website getting a better ideas on majors…seems he wants to have a game plan for his visit on 2/17 BEFORE he shows up on campus:confused: Who is this kid??</p>
