Cool question! A question like this came up years ago for me and my astro friend from college who was talking about her school days. She was from New York but attended a K-12 at a private school in Mass. I told her that 3rd house is schooling while growing up and she pointed out that she thought it was 9th in this instance because it was not local neighborhood/classmates and it was another "land". I thought that made sense so I try to look at those things in charts when talking about schooling.
Does your friend's chart have any Jupiter indicators in the third house? Like Jupiter itself being placed there, or the third house cusp in Sagittarius or Pisces, or aspects involving Jupiter and/or one of its signs?
I'm wondering if those kinds of placements would be linked with a ninth house experience in a third house situation--like my high school, and your friend's K-12.
Was it a boarding school that she attended? Or did she stay with relatives, or was there some other arrangement?
