Classes are only a small part of the college experience. The bigger part is learning how to be independent and solve problems on your own. I would STRONGLY recommend you find the way to have your child live on campus. S is a sophomore, 700 miles away, so obviously lives on campus. I have seen a huge difference in maturity between his friends who went away to school and those who still live at home. Those who live at home still have HS friends and few or no college friends. I see them at all the HS sporting events. They are, for all intensive purposes, still in HS, but with tougher classes.
