Well heres my 2 cents. I moved away from my home in Scotland to train full time in London when I was 11 (yes, a tad extreme I bet you're thinking) but I also got a full scholarship & this school was the best place without a doubt to get the best training . On my part the sacrifice was one I was more than willing to make(my poor mum!). Well what I found was that the hardest part was going back after the holidays. Whilst at home I'd somertimes dread it & then once I got back it took a while to settle back in. Maybe you could see if this is the same for you. It could be beneficial to see how you feel when you go back to Boston. Of course it is bound to be hard at first, after having been with your family over xmas, but if you're still wishing you were back near home after things are truly under way in a few weeks time then maybe thats your answer? It is the being at home & realising what you're missing out on that sometimes brings the situation to light. I ended up very injured & very ill before eventually making the decision to move to a school that was close enough for me to go home at weekends. Hmmm, I appear to have just about matched your monster post. Sorry! Try not to fret too much atm, like you say, you still have time to decide xxx Oh dear oh dear, more decisions!

I hope you get a chance to see your doc before you head back to Boston! It sounds like you have a lot of decisions to make but are definitely on the right track with planning ahead. If you decide to change schools then I think that's great. MN seems like a great place! If you do become an RA, that's great too. I was one for two years at my school for the same reason of wanting free room/board and being in a leadership position. It's challenging at times but a great experience that really helps. Whatever you choose will be the best decision for you. :) Good luck!!!! I’m glad your recovery is going well. I hope you get a chance to see your doc before you head back to Boston!

I can totally understand b/c I am the exact same way. If i couldn't go home when i wanted or just FELT too far away i would not be happy. i mean yeah, you can always make a new home, but you house-home and parents, extended fam, etc. can't exactly be transplanted. sounds like you are super happy and in full planning mode, and also full recovery mode! congrats!

But it also sounds like you are doing the right thing, being proactive in your thinking and now, just letting it come to you. It will come...try not to overthink it. But I know how amazing coming home feels, but it also feels good to do the independent thing, no? I'm split right down the middle on this one! Sorry not a lot of help I guess! But it sounds like your recovery is going great, you will be back and running in no time!! Enjoy your low-key new year's eve!
