| Paid for. Grandma is freaking out. I feel like the world shittiest unprotective mother but I say barring the school canceling the semester abroad he still goes- as long as he is comfortable going. Yes or No- would you still send a college junior (rising senior?) to Europe for 8 weeks? |

| Honestly, I wouldn't. Two months would seem like an eternity to me. |

| Yes. I'd worry but I'd let him go. |

| I would absolutely send him. Not to be a downer, but he's more likely to be involved in a mass shooting in the U.S. than in a terrorist attack in Europe. |

| Yes. I live in Belgium, and was in Brussels last week the day of the raids. These acts of violence are random and happen all over the place. Keeping a student from studying/traveling abroad due to fear is exactly the goal of ISIS. Send him. |
