Nick and I spent the day touring UCCS in Colorado Springs. While a beautiful setting from within the campus...and an amazing view of Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, this school is most likely NOT going to be where Nick goes to college. There are various reasons, and, as he just said, it would be a good school for people, but not for me. I would have to agree. I really can't picture him there now or long term and the engineering program seems good but not overly dynamic and competitive. Who knows if that is our interpretation, but it's a relatively small program with room to grow, but without the perfect fit all the way around, this isn't it. What was really awesome about today is that Nick and I got to spend the day together and had some funny experiences and that counts as much as anything in the world. So hard to imagine he will be 17 on Monday...for a little while, I had a flashback of all the years leading up to this day. Next stop: CSU on April 18. Whether he goes there or not, I think he will have a good feeling about it.
