<p>I’m a huge believer in pushing kids out of their comfort zone, my oldest would still be home (he’s 24 and in grad school) if we didn’t push.</p>
<p>I’m also the mom of a Dartmouth freshman. I think you and DS will also wonder if you don’t at least visit. It’s a very approachable, friendly place. It’s hard for me to imagine your DS would be intimidated after a visit.</p>
