sopranomtmom, that trip sounds VERY worthwhile. This is the kind of thing you want your kid to discover by visiting colleges and seeing where she would feel most comfortable. So, perhaps smack dab in the city may not be her thing. Further, she discovered that the idea of having to be in NYC to study theater is not necessary. Mission accomplished. Ya know, it is NOT for all people. But some adjust fine, just saying. My D had a bigger lifestyle change than your D would have because she grew up in a rural area in a town of 1700 people. We didn’t even have a traffic light in our town! We lived on a dirt road in the mountains and you had to drive to get to anything, no walking to places. And there was no public transportation. She went off to NYU and the number of kids in her dorm was nearly as many people who lived in our entire town, LOL. She started college while still 16 and she loved both college and NYC. But again, I don’t think it is for all people. That is why college fit is really important!!
