Only there 3 days. Right now plans are dinner with Shuan on Monday the 20th so if the timing works you should join us.
Thanks all for the feedback on AARP.
About what I suspected.

But to save even more money, skip the college tours. Unless she is a recruited athlete going to meet coaches who can guarantee an admission (or something similar), or she is contemplating doing a binding early admission application somewhere, the "vanity college tours" are a waste of time. Esp. for students like your daughter, who I recall has high academic numbers.

We are doing the tour because environment is important to my daughter. It's rather "sterile" around here.
If it were just about going to a school where she gets a good education she could stay home and commute to SMU.
She wants a bit more out of her college experience and you really have to see it first hand.
Last summer we visited Rice, it was on her top 3 wish list.
After the tour, it was not even under consideration.
