My son is looking at colleges.

His grades are meh 3.0 - 3.2. He will not be going to Harvard. He would not want to anyway.

We visited two what I considered very unique colleges Monday and Tuesday.

1. Highpoint University - It was such an overemphasis one money, it gave me anxiety. The facilities are all brand new. Food is a big deal. I think they place kids in good jobs but yuck. Even my son said it was too fake and "cultish."

2. Warren Wilson - On the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Very liberal. Old run down buildings. The tour guide described a co ed dorm as, "the first floor is male identifiers, the second floor is female identifiers, and the third floor is LGBTIA."

Neither are for him. He is an southern boy who likes fishing and hunting and golf. He will likely end up at Georgia College, Ole Miss (or a similar SEC school), or, I am rooting for, Kennesaw State.

Not judging. I never though I was THAT liberal, but I felt much more comfortable at Warren Wilson. Very interesting juxtaposition. There is something out there for everyone.
