[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My niece and nephew both opted to stay at home and not go away for college. They went to a really expensive prep school and have a college fund for any school.[/b] They were never allowed to go on any kind of overnight camp or trip growing up. I wonder if this was a factor for them. I’m sure they will be fine but I want my own kids to at least go away and live in a dorm even if they are local for college. Is this something you think that needs to be taught and experienced prior to college to give them the push to want to go off alone? [/quote]

Stay at home, like literally stay-at-home and commute...or just they decided to attend a college near/in their hometown.

I mean...plenty of kids from DC and MoCo attend UMD which is only like 7 miles away and I don't attribute that to anything other than UMD is a great choice and just happens to be close.[/quote]

Going to local CC, forced by parents. Had no desire. They both mostly keep to themselves in their rooms on their computers. They are employed by the family business so they likely don’t need to ever get a job or internship. [/quote]
