<p>This sentence jumped out at me. This student failed the class because he stopped attending. My biggest concern would be re: attendance in college. It is all too easy to not go to classes. No one is watching over you or reminding you to do so. And attendance DOES count. This was this student’s CHOICE…not bad instruction…student choice. And what will happen the next time this student “doesn’t like” another instructor? Will he stop attending classes?</p>
<p>That being said…your list of instate NY publics looks reasonable to me. I personally would not invest the dollars in a more expensive place until this student showed more responsibility with regard to school. Not attending classes is irresponsible.</p>
