[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After extensive research, we are leaning toward this option. In many ways, it could be a very valuable and eye-opening experience for my son, and one year is manageable. It would also really help him with what he wants to pursue for his future career.

The location is somewhat concerning, but it’s only about two more hours from VT, so we plan to break the trip into two days to get there. There is also a helpful YouTube video from a student who has gone through it, as well as recent Reddit posts.

It's about 5.5 hrs from NOVA and if you go there during the summer months, the final stretch of driving is just magical. The views are amazing. Stay at the Inn, go to El Dorado for food and Margaritas while you are visiting. 
Your son will find like-minded friends there and will have a tight group that will move with him to Charlottesville. 
For outdoorsy kids the area has plenty to offer. For city kids, like mine, it was a great eye-opening and new experience. Well worth it.
The kids bring cars with them, explore the surrounding areas and sometimes go to Charlottesville for weekends.
