Yes, Auburn is very generous. ds and his friends have enjoyed some awesome spring break trips with their "extra" money.

dagrubs - you are in an exciting seat. it is so fun to go looking at universities and then realize when one clicks for your son! Ours wanted Navy, but desired out of state like it sounds your son does. We are from Oklahoma and the only Navy school in OK is OU, which was not happening! I had...

So glad it went well for everybody!! Excited for your DS to begin his college days[emoji847]. Best wishes to your family and war eagle!!

Nairevy, my son said he'd be more than happy to show you around or give you a couch to stay on if you want to head over to visit sometime. not sure how to private message on here since I'm not on here much anymore, but let me know if you'd like his contact info.
