Parents who have kids who have gone to such schools, what’s it been like?
My D attends Cornell College in very small town Mt. Vernon, IA. My husband and I attended there as well, and although it is still small town, technology has made that a non-issue. I send care packages via amazon; she shops for books and supplies the same way. She did not have a car the first year and was quite happy staying on campus.
She has loved her experience.
If you had your way, would they have still gone?
Any challenges were well worth the education. I know the school, so I know what kind of education she is getting. My son was also just accepted there, and we hope he decides to attend.
Do you feel like the isolation has impeded your communication with your child?
We are able to call, text, or facetime. The impedement to communciation has been my daughter finally finding her place in school and not having the time to contact me!
