Yes, it is funny that he wants to study abroad 1/2 way around the world, but not be too far away for his residential college! He’s a man of many contradictions actually. He’s actually very self aware and a total introvert and understands that he may need a transitional time in his 1st year or 2 where he can be residential, but still escape back to what he is familiar with if needed. He has anxiety and I think it best to stick with his wishes. We are fortunate to live in an area of the country that has a lot of options. West Chester University is close by and has Japanese language and is on our list for state schools. Temple University is a state affiliate, but is also close enough and on our list. Both are a little larger than what he would like, but he is open to a little larger, just not a little farther.
