<p>I too used the $$ argument with DS. He gets that - he’s more frugal than most kids his age — as to shawbridge’s comments :</p>
<p>He sees the student body at the school as frat types (please do not take offense - simply not what he’s like) and does not see himself like them. He’s also down on the location. On the plus side, he’s very thrilled with the professors he’s met… - and he will find a peer-group…He’s just like most other 17 year olds - he can only see the trees not the forest.</p>
