[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Asking here because responses will be more relevant than teen parents. How far did they go and when? Did they drive back and forth from college and if so how far?[/quote]
It really depends on your kid and where you live.
I have friends who the kid drove part of the 9 hour trip for summer vacation when they were 18
Others who kid did not have their driver's license at 18 because they lived in the city.
My niece had a job at a barn 45 minutes away but it was all rural roads and they lived in an area where you get your license earlier.  That same niece can not drive in the city. [/quote]

I am wondering because my ds is going to be a little over 5 hours away for college. Flights are not an option (would require a connection and basically take a whole day) and the only other option is a bus which is over 7 hours due to a few stops along the way and of course he hates that idea. We can drive him back and forth for breaks, but wondering if it makes more sense for him to drive himself (there is parking at school and some though not all students bring cars). He has been driving every day and quite a bit including longer distances (4 hours) with us in the car and some shorter trips (2 hours) without us. [/quote]
