[quote=Anonymous]Just be very sure you won't have any regrets in 5 years. I went to college 1500 miles away (not India, but a bit of a schlep anyway) and wanted my parents to come to a special, unique performance I had the leading role in towards the end of freshman year. They did not feel like spending the money, the time, or the inconvenience of flying in for just a weekend to see it. I had a 16-year-old brother at home at the time who was a bit of a troublemaker so they would have had to bring him along or find someone to leave him with. In short, there were about 10 very good, logical reasons for them not to come. I totally understood, and accepted that this was part of the downside of going to college 1500 miles away.

However, the performance wound up being fantastic, there was no recording available, and it ended up being the last time I ever did something like that. My parents still bitterly regret their decision years later, but there's no going back. Just be very sure you aren't going to look back on this in a decade and wish you'd gone. [/quote]
