How do you get your child to see that your alma mater would be a good place to apply

There is another thread about the “Stupidest reasons your kids won’t consider a college”. I would say because my parents are alumni at least makes more sense than I don’t like the color … . I think the aversion is similar to the one many students have about attending their instate flagship.

One of my kids attended my alma mater. The other attended our instate flagship. Both were generally pleased with their college experiences.

Sometimes familiarity breeds contentment rather than contempt.

My kids would have loved to have attended my school. Alas, it would have been OOS for them, at a big price tag. One could have been accepted, the other would not have been.

I make them cheer for the teams anyway.
