[quote=Anonymous]I worry about this too, and am looking at colleges in areas where the weather is not gray skies.  Cold and snow are fine but the gray sky thing does not help mood, imo.

I also agree with a PP re not going farther than driving distance from home.  I know a mom who has a DD who has always been rather brittle and high maintenance, and she chose a college nearby.

The mom was initially disappointed because she wanted her DD to go across the country and experience life and also, give the mom a break from all the neediness.  However; DD developed an eating disorder in college and turns out she would have probably have to have withdrawn if she had lived far away.  But living locally, the mom had her come home for dinner twice a week and I think on weekends, and they monitored her and gave her a lot of support and she's doing great now.

My DC is also very high maintenance and causes me a lot of stress, and I really wanted her to go far away, too.  But after hearing that story, I have come to grips with the idea that it really might be better for my DC if she stays within a few hours drive.[/quote]
