I don’t know much about Syracuse. I’m just wondering how much of the above statement is impacting her (and your) decision.
I’m in California and my daughter was considering Duke in 2020. At that time, schools were canceling classes, flights weren’t available, and we didn’t know if/when our jobs would re-open. We sat down with her and had a very difficult discussion about removing Duke as an option because of location.
I’m a little confused with these two statements. The first day she didn’t feel safe on campus, but the second day she thought it was beautiful? The first day was the day before admitted student day and the second was admitted student day, right? Was that the difference?
You mentioned that she saw homeless on campus in your other thread. Does she feel that she isn’t ready to move from suburbia (mentioned in your other thread) to a very urban college setting? Is she scared, or are you scared for her? If she is scared and doesn’t feel ready for that move, then it is probably better to keep her closer to home.
Did the interest in film come after visiting USC or was it there before? USC film will definitely put an exclamation point on her resume.
Is that part of the concern? Studying journalism and film in LA may lead to internships and career opportunities in California.
Is she struggling because you prefer one over the other?
