About 3000 miles. Ouch, I know.

DD loved the campus, it was a fit academically, and the offer was too good to refuse. It’s also P5 and she has a real shot to make an impact this spring, even though she’s a freshman. So there’s that. It’s only been a few months. TB coach always said, if you can get past your first thanksgiving you will be fine.

DD is in downtown Boston. We live about 20 miles South of Boston. I answered less than an hour but that really depends on traffic

50 minutes. That was actually the only concern DD had with the school when making her decision - it was too close. Funny thing was, she didn’t want to be farther than 4 hours away. I told her that without a car, those 50 minutes seem a lot farther away.

With my daughter being so close, I'll be able to see a lot of games in person. We have three colleges on Long Island in our conference, and one uses our field for its home games, so that adds even more I can watch live.

The challenge will be when my younger daughter has a HS game at the same time. Which one do I go watch?

Not to rehash too much of my dd's choices but we drew a circle denoting 4 hours. We told the dd she could pick any school in that 4 hours to play or attend. She was going to pick one 3 hours away and things didn't go the way we thought that they would. So, she attended a school 35 minutes away. I was able to see every game.
