<p>I really felt sad when DS chose a school other than the U of Chicago. I think he would have had a great time, and the son of a friend seems to love it. If anything, I feel like the school is a better fit for S2, but I think he wants to stay on the east coast. </p>
<p>As far as the area goes, I was more concerned about Columbia, but now I think that that would have been O.K. I feel sure that both kids will end up in fairly urban areas, so they might as well learn to deal with city living while in college.</p>
