<p>All 3 of my kids landed up at their so called safety schools. In all 3 cases we decided on schools based on their interests and then started visiting. Each one really fell in love with their “safety” school, but continued with the visits because they felt they didn’t want to make a decision without seeing more. They were accepted to more “prestigious” schools but after much thought could not see themselves anywhere else but their safety school, Daughter just completed freshman year and is extremely happy and doing very well. Sons are about to start in the fall and are very happy with their choices.</p>
