<p>Thanks so much for posting parent2noles! I am currently in the process of trying to convince my daughter that it is “ok” and perfectly acceptable to stay in state for undergraduate and that many excellent programs can be found here in FL. She is trying to decide between physics/astrophysics,aero or astronautical engineering or possibly CS. I have seen your posts about the C-SAIT and ironically my kid is also interested in that area of computer science. One of the founders of the program at FSU, Alan Yasinsac, is now the Dean at University of South Alabama and they have a brand new School of Computing. My daughter won an award and will be meeting him this Saturday but it may be hard for him to convince her about the merits of FSU now that he is at USA!</p>
