[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d tried to be there for them. Your child is obviously going through a difficult time. What’s so wrong with wanting to be with family? I was in this position when I was in college. My parents were not supportive. I ended up moving in with a terrible boyfriend. It would’ve been much better to have been accepted at home. College dorm life living with strangers isn’t for everyone. [/quote]

I think if that is the case, then going to a commuter school might be the solution?  However, I do see that there is significant benefit from figuring it out, growing into adulthood by going away to campus. Making new friends, and finding yourself.  The problem when you are away at school but coming home all the time is that you never make community at school, and then you dislike being at school more, and are homesick more...

If the child is not ever fitting in being away, then perhaps one should go to a school around the home, depending on where one lives... for the DMV, like a GMU, UMCP, Marymount, etc... [/quote]
