i loved reading this. my kids are nowhere near college (my oldest just turned 11) but my son (nearly 8) has talked about college a lot, interestingly enough. my favorite thing he's said is, "wait...college is sleep away? I don't want to do sleep away college."

but actually, i'm fairly certain he will want to do sleep away college one day and it will be good for all of us. it's also 10 years away so easy to say that now.

I'm in a similar boat! Mine are 12, 9, and 7 and there's been lots of college talk lately. Lots of "I'm not sure how far I'll want to go..." and also "Can I still live here and go to college?" and "You mean I could go to college anywhere in the world?"

My oldest has the hardest time making decisions, and I already sort of dread the process it may be with her to find the right school!
