| deenerbug, glad your son likes NYC and NYU. If I were you, I'd definitely prefer send him off to Italy the first year. It would save a lot trouble to move in/out of the NYU dorm. A friend kid attended there, they have to bring the dorm stuff back and forth for the kid during the summer. The good thing is her kid was able to land well paid jobs during each summer with relative well known companies. Then in some cases was able to kept it as part time job during school year. ... A lot of oppertunities there, but the kid has to have good decipline to be able to keep the focus on school. |
