Some parents give advice from their own world view.
If one doesn’t ask questions and listen to the OP it’s hard to know what is helpful and what is not.
Some here promote certain schools over others.
Some push prestige.
Some are in the box.
Others are risk takers.
Some promote don’t go into debt.
Others recommend debt for the schools they like.
Some think like everyone is full pay.
Some love citites.
Others hate city schools.
Some are numbers driven.
Others are emotional.
Some are negative.
Others are encouraging.
So many points of view.
All sorts of advice.
Can the board add some type of marker to self identify as a student, parent, etc?
If not it is what it is warts and all.
