My mother and I butted heads for the exact same reason @intparent
I’m a transfer student, and very set about where I’m applying.
However, my younger brother is (no offense to him) not as well-read as I am, and even though he leans left on the political spectrum, does not know enough to oppose my mothers viewpoints (seventh-day adventist, conservative). Because he didn’t have good grades, our college counselor was recommending state schools that are easier to get into in places like Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, etc. But I know that people recommend for you to go to college in a place you’d be okay with living in unless you’re really set on a particular degree or school, so I was trying to push for public schools in places that aren’t so…right-leaning since he’s not bothering to do his own research lol.
