[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter really wants to live in London (since she was 11) and will be applying to University College, King's College, and Imperial College. I'm a nervous wreck but I'm being silent about it because I don't want to be blamed for 'holding her back'. I convinced her to apply to UVA, W&M, and a safe college in California as a back up but she's not happy about it. She thinks I don't trust her to go overseas but I just find it extremely nerve-wrecking. She's more dead set on living in London than her major.

Anyone else's child intent on going to college overseas? Did they get in? What was their GPA and test score?[/quote]

My child is much younger but I would absolutely support her if she was interested in going abroad for school.  We are 1st-gen American though, and both my husband and mother lived/went to school in London, so it's more the norm for my family.

[b]What are you afraid of exactly?[/b][/quote]

Great question. Mostly just distance; in a plane at that.

It's just amazing to me how different my daughters are; one turned down a college in NYC because she thought being 18 in NYC and going to college would be overwhelming (went to UNC instead). She's like me if you can tell. [/quote]
