[quote=Anonymous]If your kids like you, and enjoyed their childhood, they are more likely to want to stay in-state for college. The kids who move away get wanderlust from a variety of sources. They may be from a family that moved or traveled a lot during their childhood. Maybe they are hyperambitious by temperament and know that the "best" may be elsewhere. Maybe they chanced across their dream school early and always wanted to go there. There are certainly lots of good reasons to go. But staying often comes from a place of contentment and appreciation of family life in the locality. I moved to the Midwest for a more affordable lifestyle. Now my born-here kids want to stay. My younger one might be a better fit for back East. But so far he has no interest. I have to live with my choices and let others make theirs. With a local as a husband, you have an even more difficult argument to make. Vacations and campus tours might help randomly. No way to ensure success.[/quote]
