Reply to "Maturity and Deciding"

We always visited schools on vacation, and also we take in a college game of whatever sport is in season wherever we are. We've been doing that since middle school and while friends thought we were a little crazy or maybe too intense about it early, now my son is in the position of choosing a school during a pandemic when he can't get anywhere. Thankfully he already has a good feel for most schools that are in consideration from all those early drive through's, discussions and games. I do get involved in weighing pros and cons though since he is 16, not 18, and I want to support him.

I also agree that final decision when 16 / 17 / 18 doesn't have to be final. Sometimes what people want evolves as they go through the experience. Personally I transferred schools after freshman year and it worked out great. Life is filled with chapters that we decide how to write.
