<p>Thanks for the advice. There are several good options here in Michigan…but really only a couple that appear to be a good fit - at least on the surface. </p>
<p>We visited Calvin College (small, Christian college) and he loved it - it’s just out of our price range, I think. The only way he will even consider MSU is if he gets into the Honors College. He has no interest in a big college setting…so U of M is out. I, personally, really like the Kettering program but the location is awful and my son has said more than once, “I am NOT living in Flint”. (Plus they have no music options whatsoever…and that is something he wants to continue at some level.)</p>
<p>So in his mind, there’s really only Mich Tech or MSU honors college. That being said, I do think I will drag him around this summer to a few OOS schools - just to widen his perspective a bit. Hopefully, by summer he’ll have a little more interest in the process…I don’t want to do it all myself.</p>
