Dudes, dudes, dudes....... a second full funding offer from Colorado and they want "to bring her to Boulder for a recruiting event". Sadly (...it's a tough life...) she can't go because she's going to Belize for Spring Break. So proud. Nowhere else to brag though so you guys are stuck with it. Out of my system now. Ignore me. Carry on....

Tell her to sign up in Colorado too, then send a needy child in her place.

and now it gets stressful. (for PoloGirl) ...her Honors thesis supervisor (who is also in charge of the Dig she does each summer) is advising her to go to Colorado because the program is "more rigorous"
but on a happier note, the team used her pic in a promo for the tournament next week....

She'd have to get acclimated (mile high over there) and culturally adjusted. I hope she likes mountains. I've lived in Denver and I liked it. OTOH, I've dated an Indiana native who went to CU Boulder and didn't like it enough to drop out and join the military where I met her shortly afterwards. Different strokes...
She'll need reliable personal transportation to keep from going stir-crazy, additional winter wardrobe, possibly backpacking and skiing equipment. It's about 30 mi. to the big city; so, she'll have to make the most of local escapes during the week. Send her lots of gas money for the weekends. Would the "more rigorous" CU Boulder credentials really carry much more weight in the job market for her field than her first choice? |

The additional wardrobe will be specialized for recreational activities. She's probably not doing much skiing right now. Taking the high road for personal reasons has to offset the practical considerations she'll face like finding an affordable auto club that will make service calls if her car breaks down or something runs into her on trips out in the mountain range.

ooh sorry I missed this. That is what it's about. They can get all the good grades in the world and still not have a clue. Minifob has it going on. Despite all the challenges you guys have dealt with, you got there. Well done. Big Time.
