[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone mentioned distance - yes, there was one school that had to be ruled out due to distance. While it looked beautiful, it was in a location that made it rather difficult to access in an emergency and/or for school breaks. [/quote]

Unless you mean emergency personnel can’t access the campus, this is a crazy reason to rule out a school. [/quote]

No it is not. DP here but what if your kid has mental health issues and tries to hurt themself? Would you not want to get there ASAP rather than have to take a 10 hour flight, etc? come on, be reasonable, not everyone's life is perfect.

What if your DD got sexually assaulted? Would you like to leave it to the "emergency personnel" only?  :roll: [/quote]

Location of the school is not going to determine whether a sexual assault will occur, unfortunately, so no, I’m not basing a decision on DC’s college on whether I would have to takes planes, trains, and automobiles to get to DC if an assault were to happen…which for the record I wouldn’t wish on anyone’s child.

To your point about mental health challenges, if the DC is struggling then my opinion is the student isn’t ready to go off anywhere to college. Local college or online only. Why would anyone send their child with mental health challenges away anywhere? I empathize with any parent who deals with that, but come on.
