[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How independent is your kid, generally? My husband did something very similar at 17 one summer for an internship at a museum, but was attending a boarding school (albeit across the country) so was pretty independent to begin with. His grandmother's friend happened to live in the next town and two aunts were a few hours away. The museum happened to be in a college town (internship not affiliated) and he found a group house with some college students to stay in. It really depends on the kid, and the level of supervision they have performed under. That summer was a lot more freedom than he had had before, but not a dramatic jump, and a good trial before college.
