How funny. We’re in central Long Island-- flat as a board. She has no idea of the geography of any of the schools.
She wants to major in either Fashion Merchandising or Event Planning.
FIT would be wonderful, but there’s no central campus-- dorms in one part of Manhattan, and isolated buildings in other parts of the city. Not a good fit; she wants a suburban campus.
Herkimer actually has both majors. But, in the absence of any other info, I think she would prefer Oneonta simply because she’s heard of it. Both Delhi and Oneonta get a lot of kids from the Island.
We’ll take a look and see. The fact that it was her idea is what I’m happy about. Whether she loves the schools or hates them, at least she’s giving the future some thought. As you said, what I want her to have is options. I don’t particularly care what option she takes, I just don’t want her in a position where she’s unable to do what she wants because she didn’t prepare.
She probably won’t have a car. She’ll have my minivan next year for high school. (Amen!! That means I won’t have to drop both girls off at high school, and that they won’t be walking .9999 of a mile home in inclement weather. The neighbor who has been so great about picking her up when picking up her own son is moving out of state.)
We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Thanks for the info!
