[quote=Anonymous]I'm a huge fan of study abroad at a variety of ages ( I spent my junior year of HS abroad and my dd spent her senior year of HS - so I have no concerns about an 18 yo being too young.) That said, these "we'll take you if you go abroad first" college offers seem to be about maximizing college volume at the expense of the student experience, and given what you may be paying that sounds not ideal. If its the school your kid is dying to go to and that's what will get them there - well it will probably be fine. But it's a weird time to go off in the world and then come back and THEN start your college experience. So I'd only feel good about it if the school were really otherwise the only good fit for kid.[/quote]
