It is understandable that kids at this age

want to go a little bit far away from parents for college. After all, they are tired of dad and mommy's boring words.;).

However, why does he want to go so far away to Cadana, another country that dad and mom might have trouble to arrange a trip to see him occasionally? A college in the U.S. should keep him far enough from dad and mom. A lot of colleges in the U.S. allow students to take one year to go to other country for study. My daughter is planning a year or 6 months in China or France.

In the bio-medical field, the U.S is the best. From the number of Noble prize winner, you can easily make such a conclusion. This is definitely good form him if he wants to study in this field in the future.

Hope this helpful to convince him.
