[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I plan to insist on my kids going out of state for college[/b] (we’re in Maryland, so anywhere in the state is “close” IMO). [b]To me, part of the college experience is getting out from under your parents and starting to make your own way in the world. I also want them to get out of the DC metro bubble and meet people from other parts of the country.[/b] If we are only an hour or two away, it’s too easy for them to rely on mom and dad as plan B.[/quote] Totally agree. I realize it's a privileged perspective, but it's also because I lived very close to home during undergrad, and in retrospect, I would have spread my wings more if I'd left the area. Our kid is still pretty young but already wants to go away to school, so we'll see.[/quote]
