We actually looked at McGill and others. Mrs. Harumph and I encouraged him to apply out of state - at colleges located in soundly blue states - where he's been accepted with various scholarships. He wanted to go to UT, but it isn't what it used to be. For us at least, Austin has lost much of its charm. Had I known how generous some of the colleges in Quebec were for what he wants to do, I would've strongly encouraged him to study French in HS. My family is Texan for many generations, and my wife's from upstate NY.
Things are somewhat complicated at present, but mentally our bags are packed so to speak. That said, we'll be here to vote in the midterms and the 2028 election.
