I know you have been through this before, but your child may have somewhat forgotten that lots of students start out talking about going far away but many choose geographically closer schools in the end. Remind your child of this and use any specific examples you can from the sibling’s class to illustrate. It is good to apply to a range of schools regarding distance from home so that there are choices at the end. “Too close” may mean something different in April of senior year than it means today.
