[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]Its not THAT bad.
But i was really counting on sdsu. My top choice.
30k cheaper, plus an hour away to visit.
Kid cares a bit less than me
.
But then again its not his 30k, and he isnt as excited about visits as i am.
Cal st san marcos i guess is my safety school[/quote]
I’m just a few miles from CSUSM, it’s a fine school. They are just standing up their school of engineering with the help of Viasat. I’m looking forward to it.
One of my kids went to school in northern Calif, probably partly because it was his father’s alma mater and partly to put distance in between him and his doting dad.
He now lives with wife and kid in SF and we just found out this week his wife is expecting twins. We’re all a little freaked out by that. But he’s planning on leaving SF now, and talking about possibly so cal or sacramento. he and his wife are making more $$ than they know what to do with, but they are feeling the strong urge to build a suburban nest, first time I’ve ever heard him talk like that!
back to school: it’s a lot more important that your kid attends a school he likes and has a good experience. That will motivate him/her to do well and, as long as they pick a good major and a decent school, it will all work out in the end. Been there, done that. A few times.[/quote]
Congratulations on the grandkids, Svelte! It sounds like you and your wife have done very well in life — professinoally and with your family.
