[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 306348, member: 1233"] Well, Oklahoma IS known for its lakes and fishing, but we don't do much surfing unless you count jet skis. I never thought I would like it here either. Our town is NOT the typical OK town/city. With the University and a few major factories we have a wide range of people, tastes and more activities than you would normally think of. And just because he might come here for his education does not mean he has to stay. But my folks are not going anywhere, and I have a LOT of friends here. If he wanted a job and access to a cabin on a lake I could help him out. Cause the cabin is a lifetime bennie for employees of a certain restaurant. It isn't the greatest job ever, but it would pay the bills and give a lot of bennies that are atypical. I included info about the school here because many schools work similarly. The trick is finding out which schools work with which states. Either way it is something to think about and to let HIM think about. One of the things about picking a school is looking at who you know near there who might be a resource for help/friendship there. I hope he follows through on this teenage dream and has a great life as a veterinarian. Is there any chance he would join the military? That can break through a LOT of the restrictions and give preferential status to his application to many schools. Right now no Mom really WANTS their child to join the military, but it is one route he could take. [/QUOTE]
