Question

What are your opinions about an 18 year old girl leaving home (chicago) and going to college in new york

Answer 1

Go for it.  If New York is where you need to be to go to college then that is where you should go.  It is not uncommon for people to travel some distance to go to college.  I knew people at Florida State University who were from New Jersey....

Answer 2

Go, get the education that you want at the University of your choice.  It is hard to grow up under the microscope of your family.  I encouraged my daughter to go away to school for that reason.  She was too dependent on her grandparents for finances and me for emotional issues.
