<p>@actingdad, one often makes a leap of faith when it comes to what their gut tells them is the right choice. We don’t live backwards so there are always unknowns. In the case of my daughter, she contemplated whether she could make a leap of faith that she could deal with a rural campus for some of the other schools on her list that were happy to have her sit in on classes and give her what is really only a slice of the experience of actually being a student there. In every case, one ultimately decides what is worth jumping for.</p>
