Has anyone heard from Giselle?

She went with my sister in law this weekend to check out UC San Diego because my sister in law needed to go there anyway. She loves it there. I told hubby we need to go check out Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo, I am rooting for Cal Poly, I think it has a better Engineering program and I don't like the idea of the 300 student classroom that UC San Diego has.

We scheduled a mini vacation in San Luis Obispo for August to go check that out, those are her two major choices right now. I would like her to look at UC Davis also, its only 30 minutes from our house so she could stay at home, not sure how great there Engineering program is though, she said they don't have much.

If she goes to Cal Poly its only 5 hours for me to go see her and there are places nearby to go camping with the dogs, San Diego is 10 hours away and I don't know about campgrounds down there...of course I doubt that will be a major consideration for her

Stay at home - would she do that?

Will keep my fingers crossed for Cal Poly. 5 hours is a good distance - away, but not a terrible distance.

My son went to Annapolis, the Naval Academy - that was an all day trip for us. His oldest is at Hood, in Maryland - maybe 3 hours away. Evan wants to go out of state, also, but that could be as close as 2 hours.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Does your daughter have a specific field of engineering in mind?

She told me a few of her options and I can't remember them She isn't positive but she wants to put to use her love of math and how good she is in it. She got college credits for her calculus in high school last year and its funny those calculus classes are her easiest classes.

Pretty much ANY flavor of engineering requires strong math skills.

Yeah thats pretty much what we are thinking, she wants to pick something that has good job prospects also.
