[quote=Anonymous]My kid have dual citizenship (US/CDN) and I am currently considering it. DC definitely wants to go out of state at least, but there are a few concerns:

1) DC goes to a very rigorous high school, and the Canadian universities I've checked with just go with unweighted GPA and SAT/ACT scores, so it takes no account of the difficulty of coursework/school.  So not sure she'd get in, even though she'd be a much stronger student than one with a better GPA from our local school down the street.  (no harm to try, though)

2) Not sure how easy to get a job back in the states afterwards, don't think there is a strong network like in many US schools (if anyone knows more about this, I'd love to hear)

3) DC has had depression and I'm concerned about such hardcore sh**ty dark freezing weather just not helping this particular kid stay in the 'normal' zone, mental-health wise.  I used to live in Edmonton and O.M.G.  My cousin emailed me a screenshot of his weather app this morning it was (-27F) and it was still dark on the app, and where I live the sun had come up a while ago.  Maybe if you've grown up with weather-from-hell you are tougher at managing it, but I am scared that my snowflake will fall apart and it's very far away from us to manage.  (any thoughts on how to manage this, or thoughts that I'm overreacting, would be appreciated)[/quote]
