[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our son’s decision was Princeton or Stanford and we lived in Connecticut. We told him it was his decision but if decided on Stanford we could only afford to fly him home for Christmas and we wouldn’t be flying out there for Parents weekend. We had two others in college so we were very cash conscious. He decided on Princeton and loved it. [/quote]

I like this approach. Make sure she is aware of how many times you’ll be able to afford to fly her home. In my case, it was only for breaks. I missed a lot of family functions but I don’t really regret that now. It did seem like a big deal at the time.[/quote]

+1 I think the covid situation made people realize how beneficial it is to be within a day’s drive of home for college. We’re lucky to have so many great schools on the east coast. Imagine being told the dorm was closing in 24-48 hours? That’s stressful no matter what, but if you literally have no family nearby, that would be overwhelming to most kids. [/quote]
