<p>We couldn’t afford much in the way of campus visits – but S applied to Dartmouth and was accepted. He and DH went to the accepted student’s weekend in April. S loved every minute of it (ghost stories especially). He was shy about it when he got home – I think he was afraid it wasn’t possible. We sat down with a calculator and started penciling. It was do-able (Dartmouth was very generous). S flew up the stairs to order a T shirt and all was right with the world. </p>
<p>I asked DH about the campus visit. He said he was moral support on the plane but completely unnecessary once they hit campus. S stayed overnight in the dorm with another kid from our area. </p>
<p>I hope your kid ends up as happy!</p>
