<p>actually college confidential. </p>

<p>Younger D made her decision and is submitting her SIR this week. Came back to CC last year after a 7 year gap. Thankful for all the information provided by a number of you, which helped me guide both my kids through this laborious and many times difficult process. Funnily enough, the most difficult decision for my younger D was picking the school to attend from her final two choices. </p>

<p>Will be referring friends and their kids in the upcoming years.</p>

<p>Thanks once again & Good luck to all of you.</p>

<p>How did she pick between the final two choices? What was the deciding factor?</p>

<p>What a nice post!</p>

<p>I’ve thought of doing the same thing, son is about to graduate, I spend too much time here even now. CC is addictive for some of us. </p>

<p>Go over to the Parents Cafe! Some fun threads over there. Or consider paying it forward with the knowledge you have gained here.</p>

<p>thumper1, I see by the number of your posts that you too have been here a long time. Thanks for the advice :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Yep. My last college kiddo was a 2010 graduate who is now getting ready for grad school after doing a stint in the Peace Corps. Time flies!</p>

<p>thumper is number 1 on cc ^^</p>

<p>Seconding the suggestion to stick around. Now is when the fun begins. and the Café is priceless.</p>

<p>I agree with sticking around and paying it forward! </p>

<p>I discovered CC when S1 (2013 college grad) was just in high school and I really valued the advice and information from the “older”, more experienced parents. Funny how I now fit that description :wink: </p>

<p>I joined CC in 2005 when S1 was a h.s. senior. He graduated in 2009. S2 graduated from college in 2012. I just can’t seem to shake the CC addiction!</p>

<p>Likewise. I give info on son’s/my alma mater’s forum mainly. And I have fun with the Parent Café. You have a lot to offer. </p>

<p>Howcum the site added the accent over café?? I didn’t choose to despite my HS French! Also- tons of views because the heading omits the presumed last word- Confidential- and many, like me, expected this to be about literally dropping out of college.</p>

<p>Wis–I think that’s just plain autocorrect–as the word is offici-o-lly spelled that way.</p>

<p>I agree with others who say stick around! You never know what new questions or hurdles may pop up even after your daughter is happily settled into college. </p>

<p>I was very grateful for the comments and support I received when my son was diagnosed with mono over spring break. (And happily he has maintained good grades in all 19 units he was taking this semester!)</p>

<p>You’ll be back! :-)</p>
