| I started letting the guys take the subway into town around freshman year -- the dentist is near a station, both can hop a train from near their schools and meet us in town, etc. With cell phones, I don't worry much, and they are good about keeping me updated. We've been hauling them around various cities and places since they were babies, so they are pretty savvy travelers.
S has flown several times to various schools and taken the 55 bus solo from Midway to UChicago a couple of times now -- if he wasn't comfortable with that, then he'd have to do some thinking about what kind of environment he wants. However, he is perfectly happy NOT to get his driver's license, so public transit is fine by him. |
