<p>Wildwood11 and JHS: Thank you for sharing your perspective-- I agree with all of your points. Although picking a school based on the school colors (or the sports records) has not entered her mind… ha ha. Well, I suppose maybe it has, but she has not verbalized it to me:) She has always liked Tigers though. I believe that my d will do fine at all of the schools she will apply to. There will be a transition of course, but she is a bright student who adapts well and she will surely get involved in many activities on any campus she joins. We will keep your words of wisdom in mind as she goes through her college search.</p>
