<p>vivsters- I know what your mom means. It must be hard to let you stay at a boarding school on the other side of the world… It’s the same for me, except that my parents have tons of friends in the states, so that will be no worry for me. All that matters is that YOU are prepared for boarding school and that you trust that YOU will have no problem being independent.</p>
<p>And IMOH, I think boarding school really does prepare you for college. Definitely. Some may not agree, however, but this is my own opinion.</p>
