<p>My D fell in love with a “safety” she applied to at the last minute because her dad said, “You know, what about______________. I think you would like it there.” She went to visit and turned down schools with much bigger academic names. He was right. I was a little bemused, at first, but I also always taught her to trust her instincts. She said, “This is the place for me.” She was right, apparently…she’s doing quite well and she’s quite happy. Loves her profs and the other kids.</p>
