<p>I mean, they might actually answer his question and give viable arguments he could attempt to utilize. Those parents and individuals will be familiar with that situation- from my reading, this board is populated by highly involved parents of day schoolers. There is an obvious bias.</p>
<p>OP, finances aside, it truly depends on the values of your parents an their assessment of you. I have a friend whose father sent her to boarding school in India while they lived in Colorado springs. I am sure many parents on this board would be horrified by the thought. I has no desire to attend BS, but a very talented friend of mine will be attending a BS on the other side of the country, on an island. It will open lots of opportunities for her and give her an anazing education and that matters most to her and her parents. Each family is different.</p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck in your quest.</p>
