[quote=Anonymous]Two of my nieces went OOS and attended Purdue and UVM, which they seemed to enjoy and I think the attraction to New England and the outdoors was definitely a reason why one of them went to UVM. I don't hear from the Purdue niece as much and she doesn't enjoy Indiana as much as my other niece liked Vermont, but the on-campus experience seems to suit her and all of her close friends are from other Midwestern states. My brother sent all 3 of his kids OOS to UW-Madison and while the cold was somewhat of a shock, it didn't seem that jarring or uncomfortable. My neighbor just sent her freshman twins to Berkeley and UCLA, and the kids are very much looking forward to the Californian college experience and weather. so far, it seems like their friends are mostly Californians but they don't seem to go home that often and have even invited the kids to stay over for Thanksgiving. The concerns are definitely valid and I think it can be more difficult at smaller state schools but most of the kids I know haven't had too much issue despite living far away. Admittedly, my HS haven't left yet and are deciding on whether they want to make the same decision to go farther away or not and are taking these anecdotal experiences into account.[/quote]
