[quote=Anonymous] 1. I don't call 6-7 hours of driving an "easy" distance. I'd rather be able to hop on a one-hour flight to Montreal to get DD at McGill than drive into the middle of nowhere for that long. In an "emergency", anything that's not within a couple of hours drive or flight door-to-door will be stressful anyway. 2. Cost is an issue for you - that means you will need to curate a list of in-state schools that will top out at about 30-40K cost of attendance per year, and when you add more expensive ones, hope for aid. Thus it might turn out that a distant school will actually be cost-effective, and that you can afford transportation to and fro. Or it might not. You won't know until you get the aid offer. Therefore, your kid won't know if they don't apply! 3. So you all need nerves of steel, to allow your kid to apply to a certain list without getting too attached to any school, so that you can make a financially-informed decision at the end.[/quote]
