It really depends on the kids involved. Are there more opportunities for your D to change majors (if she falls in the majority % of kids who do) if she goes to the large university? Six hours is nothing, compared to all the parents here on CC whose kids are attending school on the opposite coast to where they live. I do think the “forbidding her from attending” probably isn’t a good strategy—may be setting yourself up for lots of tearful calls once she gets to the place she feels you are forcing her to attend.

H and I had a long-distance relationship for 5 years of college; we were about 2 hrs apart… it worked, but it was hard. For my D, I do mostly wish she and her BF were at the same school…
