What an absolutely amazing program! I have never heard of it until your post, and I have to thank you for pointing it out. I have to show my son!
Looking at the FAQ [1] it looks like they would really like to discuss both your financial and travel arrangements with you. They seem quite open to helping in all areas. I would reach out to them directly and maybe even suggest a skype call with one of their faculty and your parents. Go for it! This could be a life defining experience.

- trcollinson 11y agoMy friend, I would gladly explain to your parents that these areas are actually exceptionally safe, even by US standards. I hope they will let you go. This is in a more rural area of Massachusetts. I am sure your parents have heard horror stories of incidents happening in the US lately, but Hampshire College is not in an unsafe area. Good luck!
