<p>Yes, don’t drag your poor grandma on a trip to tour 15 colleges. Think of it from her viewpoint – no matter how much she loves you, she really wants to take a “trip”, not go shopping for colleges with you. 15 colleges in one trip would be mind-numbing, too. Be kinder to her and go to Europe. You might ask if you can do one other country besides tracing German heritage, I bet she will agree.</p>
