@koalathebear‌ I have to 2nd what @fallenchemist‌ just said re: not liking the location of a school. As mentioned before (and not to beat a dead horse), that was one of the primary reasons my daughter chose NOT to go to Tulane. She just didn’t care for New Orleans, and couldn’t see herself there for 4 years. And congrats on DHS.

Just to give all of you an update, my daughter went to UGA last night for a party with some of her friends and had a blast. She couldn’t get over how comfortable she felt there, and how much she enjoyed being there with her friends. It was a gorgeous spring day and both of us were blown away by how pretty the campus looked (minus the pollen). She got to tour some of the freshman dorms and pretty much has her top 3 choices in mind.

Finally, this afternoon we got together with one of my closest friends from my college days whose daughter is also going to UGA (the girls didn’t know each other). They hit it off so well, they’ve agreed to be roommates. So it looks like everything is falling into place. As sad as I was to hit that button telling Tulane that she wasn’t coming, I feel like a really good decision has been made.
