College as a turning point in life

Yes, there is some madness related to the college process.  But whenever we discuss college with our students, we provide the context for why college matters beyond the obvious career implications.

My wife and I met in college. That’s not particularly uncommon. While likely a dated statistic, at some point, 25% of college graduates met their spouses in college. That alone would make me as a parent want to do everything possible to optimize the college choice.

The Godfather of my youngest child  – a Darien resident – is my college roommate.  Those who knew me in high school were surprised because my high school best friend was more like a brother to me.  But due to living together, the bonds formed in college are usually stronger.

Your children will also find a new home, beyond the Fairfield County, Connecticut bubble.

New friends, a new home, and maybe even one’s spouse can come from a well matched college. Optimize your child’s choice.
