<p>There’s definitely a lot of different “Styles” of colleges available to our children. I don’t really think there are any “Too this” or “Too That” when it comes to the schools. Some same a certain school is the biggest partying school while another is really into political causes. Being each of our children are unique, I think they will each react to a particular university or college differently. My daughter is not the “Partying” type, so even though she is at a school that is noted for their “Partying Attitude” it doesn’t really affect her. Matter of fact, she is now a resident advisor in the dorm and actually monitors such things as well as helping dorm residents with their problems, issues, classes, moral, etc… While young and independent, she is quite conservative in many of her ideas and ideals.</p>
<p>My son on the other hand is a perfectionist, ultra hard worker, responsible individual who has a very “Liberal” attitude of believing that people should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t affect others. He would act totally differently at such a school. Not better or worse, just differently. He is exactly as I was coming out of high school. Yet, over the years I have come to be very conservative and nationalistic. As well as joining the Air Force out of school.</p>
<p>Yet with these 2 opposite personalities, both children have chosen futures and paths that you would have thought the other would have chosen. My daughter chose a traditional university while my son has chosen the Air Force Academy. This is something they both have wanted for years. So, unless you have a child that has a “Problem” with something that could be exposed to at a college, each student will react on their own.</p>
<p>After reading these letters from this “Sister”, I’m not 100% sure that some of it isn’t just pure B.S. Even with room for some misunderstanding, there is no way that anyone on this forum or any place else will convince me that a person could believe that going to a military academy ISN’T somehow related directly to the military. People can’t be ignorant or stupid enough to believe that the military wants to pay for your son’s or daughter’s education and not want anything in return. I also find it strange for a “Mother” to ask her “Daughter” to call the military and START OUTPROCESSING her brother. I don’t think we are getting the real truth here. Later… Mike…</p>
