Last year my son and daughter in law went on a cruise. She had her passport and he didn't. He took his birth certificate and photo ID as that was all he was told he needed. It was very difficult for him to be cleared to get on the ship and they almost didn't let him. Getting ready to book a cruise for this summer and we are all getting ours. Well worth not not taking the risk.
I think we are planning to go down on that Friday to spend some time on campus and in town then we won't be rushed to make the 5 hours drive on Saturday morning.
Looks like she is really leaning towards Murray. Thanks for all the information, it really helped answer many of her questions. I understand the scholarship committe is meeting this week....prayers are needed for some offers to come her way. After that we will be planning a road trip to see the campus.
I didn't realize Murray was that close to the lakes. My husband will love to go fishing.
She really perked up on the idea of the trolley.
Is the area between the campus and, for instance, the phamacies bike friendly?
Thanks for the comments so far. The scholarship committee meets this weeks so saying lots of prayers for some tuition help to come our way. If our prayers are answered we will be making the road trip down in a few weeks.
Any pointers on a place to stay or any sites to take in while we are there?
What is around the area, outside of campus? Movies, stores, pharmacies, etc?
theoldguy: is your child a current high school senior? It you care to share, girl or boy?
Some general questions that she has and she is looking at a degree in Psychology (just not sure what area yet...maybe Cognitive Therapy):
--Being 5 hours from home, what is there to do during down time (like she is going to have any downtime:D)
--For someone who is not as outgoing as most, it is a friendly campus?
--Is the campus safe? Can you walk from building to building or do alot of students have bikes?
--Are the dorms nice and explain the dorm set-up? Seperate communities???
These are comfort questions but some that are weighing on the top of her brain right now.
