La Crosse was too "small" for her and she's upset that the sororities can't have a house "with their letters on it". We just had another argument this morning about it because it has a kick-butt Exercise Science department which dovetails into the PT program. I was trying to get her to apply by the 2/1 deadline and then reach out to the PT department to talk to them directly about how many UWLX grads they take and to the Greek system to get the real lowdown on the houses but ended up in a big arguement. She flat out refuses. I know that she needs to be happy to do well, but her priorities in a college are so much different than mine. UWLX is a great school and less than half the cost of Iowa. I guess we could try Eau Claire. At least they have more of a Greek life there.Robin, do any of the other UW schools appeal to her? I know she was not crazy about UW-La Crosse. What about Eau Claire?
I floated Iowa State by her last week and was told "No. I don't want to go there." When I asked why she wouldn't elaborate.Have you guys looked into Iowa State? Its significantly less expensive than Iowa. I think your DD would qualify for a $5500/yr auto scholarship, bringing it down to the range of UMN. Its supposed to be one of the most beautiful campuses in the country and I've read Ames is a great college town and very safe.
