<p>Our D loved everything about New York City (she was admitted to Fordham, and very, very seriously considered attending). But in the end, she decided she wanted a more “traditional” college experience - with a traditional centralized campus, lots of interaction between students of all different majors, and a more budget-friendly environment to enable her to live off-campus after her freshman year. She will be attending University of Minnesota/Guthrie next year. </p>
<p>In the end, her decision (and of course every kid has to weigh their own preferences, and make their own choices - which are all valid!) was that if she was in a program where she would receive the level of training she was wanting, she would be perfectly fine with going to college somewhere besides NYC, and would gladly make plans to move to NYC (or Chicago, or LA, or wherever!) after college, and live her big-city dreams then. </p>
