<p>My d while filled with sadness about Tulane has decided to attend University of Denver for the fall quarter. They have been so nice and helpful to her. They are willing to take her on either a permanent basis or for however long she needs to stay until Tulane reopens. Her heart is still with Tulane but is ready to start the college process. Denver offers her the best of 2 worlds. She can go to Tulane eventually or if she likes Denver she can stay.
And they are willing to give her the merit scholarship that they offered her last spring.
She doesn't know what she will bring with her to Denver since all her stuff is in her dorm at Tulane. It has been an emotional week and will continue for sometime.
She has to be in Denver on Monday.</p>
<p>Good luck to her. Denver is a terrific place for many things, and, perhaps, getting back into the classroom quickly will help deal with the pain. </p>
<p>We will hold you and her in the light.</p>
<p>Good luck to your D Mom60. Rough start, but she will be fine.</p>
<p>Mom60, glad she had found a landing pad. My D's best friend will be at Denver. PM me if you have specific needs; I have tons of winter gear for example but never use it. The good news is, probably everything is even more on sale now that schools have started.</p>
<p>SBMom- thanks for the offer. We went to Ross yesterday and she found a jacket and some jeans and sweats. It is painful to have to buy things but we don't know how long till we can even get her belongings from tulane. It is weird to be buying sheets all over again.
She is so far 1 of 11 Tulane freshman who will be attending Denver. Her roommate is going to be another Tulane freshman at least intially. They are putting all the Tulane students together in the same on campus apartment building till they can find spots in the freshman dorms.
My D is surprised at how many students from Tulane are ending up at Denver since they are so different from each other.
So it has been a stressful week. D feels like she is getting an ulcer. But I am hoping once she is settled in Denver she will feel better.</p>
<p>Mom60, the U of Denver is an excellent school. I have every confidence that she will not suffer academically by attending there, whether for a semester or longer. Actually, I do not think I would say Tulane and U of Denver are all that different, they have quite a few similarities, just different locations. Best of luck to her, and hugs to your whole family.</p>
<p>MOM60 - glad to hear that your DD has landed somewhere for now - this will help the healing process for her and many others as well. I really hope she has a wonderful experience in Denver :) Hugs to both of you</p>
<p>Mom60,</p>
<p>So happy to hear that you have developed such a wonderful workable plan. I know that must be a tremendous relief for you. Blessings as you move through these weeks of change.</p>
<p>Congrats on your D landing a spot. We. too, had some "good" news - D's friend who was in Jackson with other Tulane students came back home, and now at UT Austin. There was no room in the dorms, but they put her up in one of the private dorms. She has her doubts as to whether there will be a spring semester at Tulane, so is resigned to one year at UT.</p>
