[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](And I wish I felt comfortable sending her further away. Don't want to get into too much of the backstory, but the anxiety is tied to some childhood medical stuff, and she's just never been far from home. It might be fine, and she does need to "leave the nest", but I think there will be a sense of security knowing that she can come home easily. It just feels like the right call for her, and she agrees.)[/quote]

I have a kid who was this way.  He and I flew to his college 6 hours away to visit. Very manageable smaller airport.  The college is nearby and has shuttle option.  Two direct flights to Dulles a day. Once he had actually flown to the college, driven to the school, then done the reverse to get home, he was fine with it.  I wouldn’t discount an option like Guilford, which is about six hours away and has a nearby small airport with hour long direct flights to the DMV. In many ways, that’s an easier option to get home for a weekend, medical appt., etc  than driving or. Being picked up. [/quote]
