I based my applications to colleges on stupid things (e.g.: "Oh, this is where my parents lived when I was was born! I used to come here and collect feathers as a little kid!" )
As you might expect, I choose poorly and ended up transferring. I was lucky that I **really enjoyed** the place I transferred to. Interestingly, because I was a transfer student, my experience of the place I transferred to ends up being very very different from the experiences of most of the students who went to that school.
... you can see how I'm a limited resource when it comes to helping my progeny with college stuff--except by leading by non-example.
