Any Boneyarders have a relative that has been admitted to UConn for the Fall of 2017?
My oldest daughter!
She's been visiting campus since she was born but hasn't given serious thought to attending in recent years; like many kids she wants to go to school out of state. I had her apply anyway but have never pushed it.
Crazily enough, after having a private college counselor, applying to more than a dozen schools, getting accepted to all of them and visiting even more, she's now seriously considering it. Funny how well it stands up to lots of other places on lots of fronts.
Yesterday we decided on whim to take a trip up for today's game. Despite having attended dozens of them in her life, today was the first time she looked at it through the eyes of a prospective student. We checked out a lot more of the campus and then Storrs Center for the first time for both of us. That was a winner. Definitely gave more appeal for her, and was cooler than I was expecting. Still a bit sterile--kind of feels like a movie set--but definite potential.
Still very much in the mix--even moreso after today.
She'll go back for a proper tour and we'll take it from there.
