[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Travel is really hard and expensive. And in the case of UW, they’re on the quarter system so you can end up out of sync with friends. They don’t go back until mid-September. [/b]

I myself went to a school in the east coast and had a full 12+ hours of travel to get there by plane. But flights were expensive so I often stayed there for breaks, even when everyone else left. Sometimes I was invited to people’s houses but I couldn’t afford to tag along on trips. That was isolating and not a great part of my college experience. [/quote]

That's only an issue for a semester until you move on from HS friends and your college friends are your new friend group.[/quote]
The new college friend group will be going back to their own homes during the summer.

I'm originally from CA; we go back often. My kids love CA weather and lifestyle, but it's too expensive and difficult to deal with (travel especially during the hoildays, movein/out).  I told them to just find a job there after graduation.[/quote]
