Have you been able to find a school for your son?  I have!  It's a good one that is highly rated.  It costs a bit more but I think it will be worth it. Sometimes quality is worth the extra cost, as long as you can afford it! We're considering the same issues with my daughter starting to look at colleges. I'm hoping she'll get a scholarship to cover at least some of it! I hear you there. Have you started applying for any scholarships yet?   She has applied for a few, but we're also waiting to hear back from some of the scouts that attended her games to see if she's got a sports offer. That would be huge! Oh yeah! That would be great!  Hey, I've heard about people recording their kids playing and sending it to coaches.  Have you thought about trying that? We have some videos and will be sending them out next month if we don't hear back. I'm excited for her to go to college but also a little sad to see her leave. They grow up so fast. Even the little one! I know. I have some years left at least before mine leave home so I intend to do as much as I can to enjoy the time with them.  Maybe your daughter can get a school close by and that way you can see her more. I hope so, but she wants to go out-of-state. I think she likes the idea of being more independent but it will definitely be an adjustment for everyone. Do you think your son will adapt ok to being away from you? He's still young so I think he'll be okay.  It's me that's going to have the hard time lol!  How are your daughter's grades?  Some of the best basketball schools for women are Stanford and Baylor She's had straight As since elementary school! Stanford would be wonderful but without scholarships it would be tough. I would hate for her to borrow that much money for school. It'd be worth it though if she went into a high paying job field after graduating.  For that matter, she might wind up on television on ESPN reporting about games!
