We're hybrid here, with talk of going in-school fulltime (but I don't know when).
My DD has visited the local State U for the tour, and plans to visit her other two choices later this month. She got into the Honors program at the local U.
One of the things she said about the local U was, "It was so quiet!" Um, Honey, you know there's a pandemic going on, right? Her brother attends there, he was in-person for about 3 weeks, back in Sept., and has been virtual ever since. So, yeah, the campus is quiet. The other ones will be, too.
We're expecting no financial aid, but there's a shot at some merit aid at one of her choices, so we'll see how things pan out. We told her, we'll pay for undergrad, but not grad school (law, in her case), if she picks a pricey undergrad. We have a set pot of money, when it's gone, it's gone.
Mjkacmom--I've actually visited UMASS, when my oldest got accepted there. It's a huge, bustling campus...set among cornfields. They have shuttles to get around, and also get into town. Plenty going on (well, there was--in 2013), three levels of sports (teams, intramurals, where they played other schools, and recreational, where they just played for fun). I can try to answer any questions you have. My DD didn't end up going there--ironically, the young man she's been dating for 2 years is a UMASS graduate, though.
