<p>Will tests in college exacerbate her anxiety? Maybe take only four courses in each of her first two semesters at residential college, then do two more community college courses in summer 2015 to catch up. </p>
<p>She might want to start researching possible accommodations for her disability. </p>
<p>Also, look into tuition insurance (that doesn’t exclude mood disorders). </p>
<p>OP, forgive me again, for another presumptuous question, does she want to go to college next year? can she tell you why? how do those answers hold up to scrutiny, in your estimation? </p>
<p>She wants to go, definitely. Partly because she wants to study psychology. She wants to work with teens - she was always interested, but also saw a lot of the situations kids have to deal with when she was in the outpatient program and also in her current group therapy. Her cousin is also a therapist. Who knows if that’s what she ends up doing, but I’m happy there is something she’s interested in. She also really wants to take the next step, and be on her own, at least what “on your own” means at college. I think she feels it’s time to move on to the next stage in her life.</p>
<p>As for how those answers hold up … I think they are good reasons. Now, is she ready to move on to the next stage? Will she be responsible and use good sense when making decisions. I don’t know. We still have another year. She’s learned a lot this year, but there’s definitely more to learn.</p>
<p>Try the maine schools on that list.</p>
<p>I dont think any of the SUNYs would fit your budget as an OOS student; I dont think you consider the SUNYs to be PSU level.</p>
<p>Have your D take the ACT…the math is LESS tricky</p>
<p>Mansfield is fairly isolated, but the students make the most of it, and it is a very supportive environment. </p>
<p>Marywood University is also a very supportive environment and a very friendly campus. Scranton really does have a lot to offer, in spite of some of the economic issues. Plus, there are frequent and free excursions to NYC through the activities board. My daughter absolutely loved it there.</p>
