<p>son attends Atlantic College in Wales – he has thoroughly enjoyed the experience and he has matured and changed in many ways. </p>
<p>he will not be able to visit colleges – at best, he could visit the University of Chicago at the beginning of August, but with no classes scheduled and the campus pretty much shut down I don’t think it would be worth the money.</p>
<p>So far, he has visited Columbia, Georgetown, St. John’s University (NY), St. John’s college (Santa Fe), Northwestern, University of Chicago (when he was 12), Cambridge, Colorado College, University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.</p>
<p>Many of these visits were in connection to various summer programs and such – or college he thought he might be interested in. All the visits happened over a year ago.</p>
<p>He has taken classes at the local community college and Colorado College – so he has a little exposure to college classes.</p>
<p>he starts school August 7th – and won’t be back home until next June, which means no more college visits. He is just going to have to use the information he can get on the internet to decide on schools. I honestly think that he is flexible enough to deal with just about anything – as long as it has the programs/courses he is looking for, he can put up with anything else.</p>
<p>I think we will leave Harvard on the list and also have him start contacting people this week. Not only will he learn if the program is what he is looking for, but the contacts he makes just might help.</p>
