What's your line in the sand?

I’ll link this golden oldie here. It’s still open, btw.

Stupidest reason child won't look at a college

<p>Had to share this one. Mentioned to son that he might want to check out University of Minnesota for biomedical engineering because there seem to be a lot of biomed companies located in that area, and would probably be good in obtaining internships, coops.</p> <p>Son replied that he would not look at Minnesota because he does not like the Vikings because they prevented the Saints from making the playoffs one year.</p> <p>I was dumbfounded. Boys!</p> <p>Not even going to bring up any New England school because he absolutely hates the Patriots!</p> <p>This coming from my non sports loving son who refuses to even visit a school because “sports are too big there.”</p> <p>Again, BOYS!</p> <p>At least Marquette is safe. We love the Packers!</p>

My son’s line in the sand was too many smart kids. He didn’t want to go to a school where kids studied too much.

My D’s line was too much Greek Life and any schools in the south.

I think both made great choices by eliminating their personal non-negotiables.
