[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I basically only came home for the school breaks. It probably would have been the same at any of the schools I had offers to. I didn’t apply anywhere requiring a plane ride. The closest was about an hour from home.

There were only 2 times in 4 years that this was a challenge - once when I got ill and was kept at the student health center for 2 days (only an issue because it was before finals) and then my senior year when my grandfather passed and I needed to fly home quickly (he had been ill, but timing was challenging). We worked it all out though, and this is no reason to NOT have a child go where they want.[/quote]

I mean, it still says something that you only wanted to come home on breaks. Never for a sibling’s birthday, a grandparent visiting, etc.? Our kids and their cousins are very close and these kinds of get-togethers have continued into the college years. The kids who are an hour or two away come home for them. I’m not saying it’s the only way for a family to be, but it’s a priority for some families.[/quote]
