[quote=Anonymous]Depends on school, but living off campus (and seeing what food, rent, utilities, etc. cost) seems like it could be eye-opening. My college sophomore has signed a lease for next year. Still a big safety net, but more day-to-day responsibility and decisionmaking. She’s cheap, so I think she’ll do okay on the monetary front, but I think that she may be gobsmacked by how much time cooking, shopping, and cleaning can take. Or she’ll live in squalor and on ramen. I don’t think she expects to pick up where she left off at home. Likes the idea of apartment (vs. house), roommates, less affluent neighborhood, bike/public transit. [/quote]
