[quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, this was actually what happened with my first child. Their admissions results were not what we expected and neither was financial aid. After one year, they had to come home and enroll at MC for financial reasons. After a year, transferred and commuted. That kid's (fractured) college experience was completely different from my other kids. My other kids have friends from college - people who have helped them find jobs, with whom they've talked about grad school and weddings. This kid really doesn't because they weren't anywhere for long. I would not recommend what you are thinking of doing. If your child was top 15%, does she have enough AP or IB credits to shave off a semester? Maybe she can get permission to attend summer classes near home, combine that with AP/IB and end up shaving off a year of college. It's very doable if she comes in with APs and attends a school that gives credit. [/quote]
