<p>donnaleighg, I actually agree with you that there is no big difference between gathering experience from age 18 to 22, and from 22 to 26. It is a blessing for most Yalies that they do not drive while they are on campus.</p>
<p>My concern is mostly about the potentially icy road condition in NE in general during winter. (I did not say this in my post #18 however.) The weather is almost always dry, and most roads are wide and have less traffic in my home town. All of a sudden, DS needs to drive in an area where we ourselves have no experience in driving, even tgough we have been driving for many decades. The challenge will be a huge step up for DS.</p>
