[quote=Anonymous]I would not worry about this right now. Get into the college first. Then see what happens. If your child has a great offer to go to a good college a long way from home, and it is better than the local college, go to the better college. It will work out. When I was in college 30 years ago, there were kids who didn't go home for Thanksgiving or spring break because they couldn't afford it. There's also international students who don't go home either. The schools will have programs and centers to help your kid if they need to stay on campus over holidays or breaks. And your kid can also get part time campus jobs that can help with travel expenses back home for summers and Christmas. Do not let this "oh it's too far away" mentality stop your kid from going to college. [/quote]
