I'm so thankful her school has a college counselor who is there to talk over the planning, the finances, applications, everything because on my own I suspect I'd be screwing this up in a big way.
Same here! DS16's counselor is the one who suggested the college that is now DS's #1, which was so incredible because it happens to be a college that I lived near when I was in high school, and a lot of my friends went there, and now their kids are going there (way to make me feel sooo old!). But it wasn't one that I ever thought about suggesting to DS just because we don't live in that area anymore and I didn't think it was "flashy" enough to entice DS to think about it. Funny enough, there will probably be kids that DS knew from before we moved when he was in 5th grade, that will be going to that same university. I never would have thought. And it was his HS Counselor, in a completely different state, that helped DS research his options and agreed with DS that this university was a great fit. I was so happy when he came home and told me he was interested in going there - and super grateful to his counselor!
