Yes. But I think this would apply to other situations, too, like overseas or just tiny SLAC vs. large rah-rah public.[/quote]

I’m taking a leap in assuming it’s more about you not feeling connected to other parents you know or feeling like you won’t be able to connect to your kid because their experience will be outside of your own. The other way of looking at this is to acknowledge that it is new and outside your experience but there might be a new community to connect with like other parents with kids at x - studying overseas, going to small SLACS, attending Juilliard etc. and learn from parents that have BTDT.  You can also connect with your kid about it being new experiences for you on the parent side and for them in the student side and it being more about inquiring and listening what it’s like than having a set notion.  Sometimes not having a preconceived that an experience has to be a certain way is better - they forge their own path without that pressure and you have to ask and listen rather than assume.[/quote]
