The Distance Question: How Far Away From Home Is OK?

We believe it totally depends on the child. We have 2 sons thriving well out of state, both at the perfect school for him respectively. Our daughter is not as mature nor as academic, so we’d like her to stay in state (and she wants to). The only place it matters is if there is no OOS aid at a school and it’s not in your budget OR if it’s so far away that holidays home are an issue and a huge expense.
