[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will you be living outside the country while she’s in college? Keeping her geographically close to a source of support (relative, family friend, grandparents) would be my #1 concern when sending a kid with some SN abroad to college. I would prioritize that above all else. It is going to be a big adjustment and TBH from your post you guys don’t know much about the landscape and she’s likely to have challenges.[/quote]

This is one of my biggest concerns. We should be back in US, likely either in DC or possibly OH.  We do have supportive family in NY, SC, MN, and FL. My parents have offered to move back to west coast if she really decides she likes Oregon (early marketing mail) if we can’t get back to US.

We would like her near an airport, but she is a traveling pro, so complicated connections don’t phase her. And it sounds like I should be researching Yellow Ribbon program details for the NE and Midwest SLACs.

I really appreciate the advice. Navigating the gradual release of control is much different for the college application process than for her other academic activities. [/quote]

OK, this is helpful. If this were my kid, I would focus on schools within an easy drive of DC or Ohio or the area where you currently have a really supportive family member living. I would rule out schools in places like Oregon unless your parents are already moving there. Don’t make life over complicated. What your daughter wants is widely available and dozens, maybe hundreds, of schools fit the bill.

Just an observation as the parent of a freshman. You say complicated travel connections don’t phase her, but school breaks are not that long. My son is arriving home tonight for Thanksgiving and has to be back by Sunday night. Fall break was the same. You really want her to be close to someone.  [/quote]
