We went down to Naples to visit Ave Maria in November at their Open House. Our daughter just fell in love with the place. She liked the teachers she met, and everyone was just as welcoming and friendly as could be. We were sitting at lunch on Saturday, and the VP for Financial Affairs was walking by and stopped and asked if he could sit with us. He was a very interesting man; had worked for the Southeastern college accrediting agency at one time. On Sunday brunch, one of the Philosophy profs stopped at our table and asked to join us. She was very nice, and it turned out she had spent some time in Japan, so she and our daughter had a nice time chatting.

Our daughter had planned to only attend the school for a couple of years, then transfer to another school for the technical parts of the major she wants; multimedia. She liked the school, and the teachers she met, so much that she decided to do all four years there, then see about doing Masters work in Multimedia.

Of course that means we'll just HAVE to travel to FL to visit her sometimes, preferably THIS time of year. ;o)
So now it's down to bugging her to finish essays to get them to the school. Oh, joy.

Oooh. The Florida factor is tempting! My first daughter is 7 years away from college. But she's talking about being a nun, so I don't know if I want her on the beach in a bikini 8-)
