Paying for College
21

<p>There are a couple of reasons we are looking into out of state colleges. </p>

<ol>
<li><p>She is an amazing kid and as a proud parent I would like to be able to find a way to make her happy.</p></li>
<li><p>She has watched her mother suffer through about 4 years of chemo plus a stem cell transplant and subsequently about 6 yrs of pretty major depression and anxiety. So again I would like to make her happy.</p></li>
<li><p>Illinois is broke, it is run by Chicago and if she can go to an out of state college it will open her eyes to other possibilities. So in the long run I think she might be happier.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So, if you are seeing a trend here, the obvious answer is I want her to be happy.</p>

<p>??? Who has anxiety and depression? Your D or your wife? </p>

<p>If it’s your D, I’d be very hesitant before I sent my child 1000 miles away. If I had a child with depression/anxiety, I wouldn’t let her go more than 2-3 hours away. Close enough that I could easily get to her or she could easily get home on a weekend if needed.</p>
