From Deborah Ruf's "Losing our Minds,"
Level 4 students attend every kind of college and university, but if they do not aim high enough, they may still be the only ones like them at their school. They may still be under-challenged, unfulfilled, and lonely.
For me, college was the first place I found real peers, people who I understood and who understood me. That was a real gift and I know it was for most of the people I met there. I would like to be able to provide DS with that same gift when the time comes. I just don't know where that place will be for him; I certainly would not eliminate
any options at this point.
Oh, and while we are plugging our alma maters, let me say that I went to Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington. I am fond of it, but I could recommend a dozen other great schools in the Pacific Northwest (And that includes Linfield
Cathy!) that might be better fits for personalities other than mine. And that's just in my neck of the woods--there are literally hundreds of good options.
