My older daughter wasn’t even remotely excited about college until she attended freshman orientation.
I have a rising junior. He has visited zero colleges. If I ask him anything about college, potential major, etc., I get a blank stare or he asks me a question in return like "what is “liberal arts” or "what schools are in Virginia (home state), or “what do engineers even do?” I can’t tell if he is being obtuse on purpose, but it’s like talking to the dog about college. It is frustrating that he’s not more interested - I would have been in heaven if I had access to the Internet and all the college info back in 1989 when I was applying. But I can’t really be annoyed with him (yet).
I am completely confident that he’ll find a school that’s a good fit and have a reasonable list of schools to apply to this time next year.
