No. With so many out of state schools with a good program she wants to major in why would I support her going to school with such a rigid quota system. The beauty of going to college in the US is there are thousands of schools to choose from and many that have her major. I choose to put her somewhere that not only allows her to grow and thrive personally, but also prepares her for a career that she can be successful in. Part of that is her desire to join a GLO and I want to give her the best shot of that. In my opinion, IU does not provide that opportunity.

By the way here are my daughters criteria for looking at schools. I don't necessarily agree with them.

1. Good football program
2. Good basketball program
3. Good Greek system

She is 17. I didn't necessarily have different ideas as a 17 year old. The sorority I initially wanted to join at my university I picked because they had the prettiest house. Go figure!~

Loved her criteria! :-) IU definitely doesn't have number 1! You're so right, I work with 17 year olds and what they look for at 17 is even very different than what they want at 21.

In my case, being able to continue to ride horses at the school that I was attending was #1. So I went to the University of Kentucky. I did not know anything about the basketball program; and had to learn about that while I was there.
