<p>PA Mom - he’s made that attempt - he sought out professors at school in his area of interest (behavioral sciences) and, at one school, they were very receptive. He’s trying to balance school A (location, weather, friendly students, will know students on campus from hs, but seemingly less engaged student body with a large fraternity population and the professors we met were less than dynamic) with school B (lousy location for him, bit of a party school rep that he really dislikes, but open and accessible professors, and an almost free ride…). School B is - to the DM-coming out as the better alternative - but it was a super-safety for him and he’s all caught up in how that is NOT where he wanted to be… </p>
<p>Should we tell him just to take the scholarship? It is not that A is better than B. I really wanted it to be - but that’s not what I concluded.</p>
