First college tour

 Axel had his first college tour. We started at Augsburg University. This is where I went . #alumni 

I was excited to learn more about the traditional college pathway - living in dorms and all. I never lived in a dorm. It was fun to start the conversations with Axel. What does he think his future will look like and what pathways he wants to take. He is a typical 11th grader- he does not know what he wants to do. That’s ok- some of us are still figuring that out. 


It was a lovely positive day. I think Axel started out thinking the visit was going to be ‘lame’ but turned out interesting and may have even lit a fire on future goals. Augsburg really hit the mark. We talked Computer Science degrees, saw the classrooms and dorms and was cheered on that it’s obtainable. The campus is perfect - small campus right outside of the city. Average  classroom sizes are 16- that is awesome. Axel really liked it. It was a great start to finding his next spot and chapter. So scary and fun to get to do this with my kiddo :)
