It's great to get an acceptance letter first, so even if they don't get accepted everywhere, you can relax a little.

Matt applied to three schools: Aquinas, Alma, and Olivet, and that's the order he has them as favorites.

Jason's ex-gf went to Olivet her first semester of college and another gal from church went there for her first year of college.

ROFL - I didn't want to come right out and say that's why both girls ended up leaving ONU after such a short time - they felt like they had less freedom than they did in high school - wasn't quite the college experience they had hoped for!!

Congrats to your son! Does he know what he wants to study? Is he playing any sports? I tried talking DS18 into applying to smaller schools, but he only applied to MSU and U of M. He started at MSU in Aug and he is enjoying it.

Having live in MI for 15 yrs we know people who are now at, or have graduated from one of the three schools. Good luck to your son in deciding among them. It is an exciting time!
