[quote=Anonymous][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]

Presumably those are kids who really wanted to be there.  Op’s child has no desire to study in another country.[/quote]

Exactly. But who cares about that, right?

I posted above that I very much wanted to do it and it was still extremely difficult. [/quote]
