Overwhelmed in Texas

We are aware of Canyon, my stepfather is an adjunct professor there. :-)

Too close to living at home for d to be her first choice. But, it’s probably a very good safety, (financial safety I mean) and if for some reason the situation warranted it she could live with my mom. I am putting it on my spreadsheet. The only school I am not going to put on it is actually UT-El Paso, due to personal, subjective reasons having to do with growing up close to it and not really liking where I grew up, which are probably silly. But, it is what it is. D is not fond of that area herself - she will reconcile herself to living in small east or panhandle Texas towns instead of the glamourous Austin or NYC but if she has a choice she would rather stay out of that part of the country. Though we are not refusing to examine anything if it’s worth a look.

One thing we have always thought would be fun would be for her to do Neil Hess’s “Texas” some summer. WTAM’s dance program is also strong from what I understand.
