Out of State

I think the state boundaries are far less important than the actual travel time.

My son is looking at mostly schools that are out of state-- the schools within NY that are likely contenders are simply too far away.

Distance is a concern. My mom is 84–healthy as a horse now, but there’s no guarantee that she’ll continue to be so for the next 5 years. And he’ll want to be home for Thanksgiving and for homecoming at his high school.

We want him to be able to get home if he wants to, and for us to have the ability to get to him quickly if he needs us there, without having to deal with air travel.

So, for us, a 240ish mile radius covers a region roughly from Boston to Baltimore, and west past Scranton. Lots of different states, but still within about 4 hours.
