[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who was an international student in college (all 4 years) I can tell you that it was EXTREMELY hard to be completely on my own in a country I knew very little about. Probably one of the hardest things I have ever done and I was completely on board with being here. Cheaper or not, do not do this if she is not in favor of it.[/quote]

Being at university and on your own for the first time is hard for most kids.  I have American relatives with kids at Canadian universities, and their kids are super happy to be there.   Any college pangs of the first year were due to just being at college with a new set of people for the first time, not because it was Canadian.  [/quote]

You have no idea what you're talking about. Sure, someone from Michigan isn't going to have a hard time being a couple of hours away in a country that's basically the same as the US. Someone going to the UK, Sweden, or Germany is going to have a much different experience. If you haven't done it, you shouldn't be telling us how easy it was. [/quote]
