[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 363178, member: 3419"] If she's got that many issues, and is seeing a therapist and/or psychiatrist weekly, she's going to need to be close to home. My easy child roomed with-a young lady who had serious issues, and she was sent home at least twice to have her medications tweaked, and bring home notes from the dr. She did everything from cut her wrists, to OD on antianxiety medications, to purposely get drunk at a party so people would carry her back to the dorm. Wouldn't you know that 2 of the 3 roomies were psychiatric majors who thought they could save the world ... Anyway, since you're paying, you simply tell her how far away she can go, and give her a list of schools she can go to. Don't they have a counseling ofc at her HS? You can work together with-them on this. They can help you find compatible schools for her interests/potential major, close to home. Even if it's in another part of the state, say, a 4 hr drive, that may be good enough. The colleges and Univ. in our state do not allow freshmen to have cars on campus, so if that is the case in your state, and she wants to come home when she's homesick, she won't be able to just at the drop of a hat. Could be interesting. by the way, everyone wants to go to school in Hawaii! :happy: But when we pointed out to easy child that their schools are better for marine biology, she decided she really wanted to go into art, and logic won the day.
