<p>Michigan skinig is very similar to NE except the “mountains” are really glorified hills. Mt. Bohemia might be the exception and more similar to Colorado. Son 3 does not really want to go to Colorado, yes he wants to be “different.” He is applying to Utah, but he doesn’t feel enthused - he turned down a visit during ski season which tells me lots. He does want to either stay close to home or go east. He does have a back-up major in mind and coming from an engineering family he’s heard relatives talk about the “engineering grind” ad nauseum. S3 is a football captain and lacrosse captain and hits the gym to workout every day…he would prefer to be at a school with kids that celebrate and have fun with sports and although he’s an enigma to me (I’m not too fond of helmet sports) I love him and I “get” him. The biggest impression our UofM tour made on him was the union with the statute of the athlete to the left and the statute of the scholar to the right.</p>
