^^My S2 is doing just that. He has applied to a couple of instate schools (3-4 hours away) but we are not throwing out the possibility of him going to Community College here. We have told him the best thing he can have is plenty of options. He’s not sure right now what he wants so hopefully by the spring he’ll have a clearer picture and options to choose from.

We have a big state u. 20 minutes away. Most of the students from our high school who go there and live on campus are still up here around town a lot.

S1 is at a state u. 3 hours away. So many kids from our high school go to the same school that he felt comfortable right away. Homesickness was never a problem because there were people from home everywhere but also thousands of new people to make friends with too. Maybe your D should consider a school where there would be some familiar faces to make her more at ease with the big transition to college.
