How do I explain to my parents that I don’t want to stay close to home for school
Hello everybody. I am a smart kid. I try hard in school and I value my academic environment so very much. One of the reasons I take all AP classes is so that I am in an environment with teachers and students who actually care, not just people there to cheat and pass the class. I have worked so hard in school and I plan to major in chemical engineering.
I am texas based and will likely not get into UT. My parents think that going out of state is a huge mistake, unrealistic, and not worth it. They keep telling me I should stay close to home and go somewhere like OU or arkansas. I know a girl who literally was in math models, got like a 15/100 on her OU math assesment exam and is somehow doing engineering but says that all she does is party and drink. I want to be surrounded with people of my same work ethic and drive. I want to have good professors who set me up for success. I want nothing to do with either of these schools nor any schools around texas for that matter.
my parents both went to UNT and have stayed literally 30 mins away from where they grew up. They see no reason in going anywhere far from home. They also don’t see a value in paying for a college expierence. please someone help me convince them. what do i do??
