She's ahead of Leah on this one! LOL We've just started talking about it, but other than her first choice (my alma mater, and also where my parents went) she has no ideas. Her HS has an online tool where you can search by interests, size, location, etc, and I'm hoping we'll use that to narrow down (or in her case, broaden) her options. What kinds of places is C interested in?

Sue, mom to Leah and Seth

To be truthful, I'm rather surprised she's already thinking about this, procrastinator that she is.

>>C has dreamt of attending college abroad since she was 9 or 10, but it's unlikely that that is very feasible in any way, shape or form.


Has she considered looking at schools that support study abroad programs?

I had to interview this top college educational consultant--gets every kid in college of her choice--all Ivys and others--charges big bucks--so it was fun picking her brains..
