[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are so many things about college adjustment that are totally alien to me, since I was extremely independent. Cinderblock dorm room? No worries, at least I had my freedom. Shared bathroom? I had 4 brothers, so NBD. If you want your kid to be self-sufficient then let them deal with the dorms themselves. They’ll adjust and learn to deal. Unless you plan on subsidizing their living expenses for a decade, they will have many more small and crowded and old accomodations to come. And you knoenwhat? It’s FUN. [b]Who among us didn’t live in a crazy group house?[/b] Live on a shoestring in an expensive, vibrant city? And if your kid aspires to a nicer home then well - great opportunity for them to set their sights on a career that will let them afford that sooner than later. [/quote]

I lived in a tiny studio apartment. As a happy introvert, that's much more appealing than living in a "crazy group house." Though at least in a crazy group house (as opposed to college dorm) you'd presumably have your own bedroom.[/quote]
