[quote=Anonymous]You do what you need to, and often parents have already deferred moves for kids, which will never be appreciated. But it is definitely both upsetting and disruptive to college kids. They loose easy access to HS friends, and they'll see the grass greener when all those friends have their childhood home to return to. They also lose convenient access to childhood connections that may lead to internships and jobs.

We moved cross country, were briefly closer to our oldest in school, but a week after graduation she took a job back in DC. So that's all good, but it would have been smoother with a family home base. A cousin found a dream home out of state and quickly sold their home and moved into a one bedroom apartment while the move was sorted. Then COVID and two college students had nowhere to be. One slept on the apartment couch, the other moved in with boyfriend's family. So that can't be planned for, but the move turned out badly. He's a pilot and before could live anywhere and fly standby to home base, now that excess capacity is gone, and he's had to keep an apartment and only live at the new house a couple weekends a month, with another decade until retirement.[/quote]
