[quote=Anonymous]I find kids who stay close to home do so for a variety of reasons namely finances, not mature enough to go far away or anxiety, medical reasons (theirs or family) or family pressure for them to stay close. These kids are often from families who haven’t traveled much abroad, who didn’t go to sleep away camps and who’s parents shutter at the thought of boarding school. For college, I think the opportunity to live somewhere different and meet people who perhaps have different views is a priceless experience. This doesn’t mean it has to be across country but what really is the difference between a 5 hr flight and 7 hour drive other than cost and logistics. Ultimately, for my DCs I left it entirely up to them. They are plane rides away but we are very close. They come home or we visit them for every break, parents’ weekend, their birthdays, etc. It has been a great experience for them and they are now masters of navigating airports as an added bonus.
