What’s the drive time from home to your kid’s college?

Both are about 4-5 hours from the DMV- University of Pittsburgh and Fordham University. It's perfect - far enough away to be different, close enough that they can easily get home for breaks, move in/move out, no need to buy plane tickets, etc.

8 hour drive. 1 1/4 hour flight.

Both kids in the same area (and family also) so I've done the drive many times.

Depends on I-95

. Mine is at W&M and we dropped him off yesterday. We live in Alexandria. Took us 3 1/2 hours to get there but only 2 1/2 to get home (including a bathroom break.) If I don't make any stops and there is no traffic, I can be there in a little over two hours. He comes home at Thanksgiving on the train. Even if he takes a car his senior year, he'll still come home via the train for Thanksgiving. There's nothing worse than sitting on I-95 on a holiday weekend.
