I did not forbid but i made it clear the Michigan State was clearly not a good fit for her. We live in No Cal and while my daughter likes cooler weather like Oregon/Washington, she has never had a real winter and doesnt like the super cold! She kept saying they have heated sidewalks so it must not be that cold. I showed her the price and told her we could visit in winter. While she loved the look and it is a sore subject, I didn’t want her to waste her time for something that didn’t fit.
