[quote=Anonymous]It's not black or white. A family friend of ours has 4 kids and their oldest at age 20 still lives with them. She got a full ride to a local college so she commutes there everyday. She is smart, friendly, outgoing, and has tons of friends. She helps her family a lot by helping around the house, driving her younger siblings to practices and school; and she travels with friends often. She said going away to college was not something she wanted because the idea of rooming with a stranger in a tiny room seemed like a nightmare. Why do that when you can live in a nice house with a pool, drive a BMW, and have a nice home cooked meal. She also has a part time job and is saving money and plans to buy a place in a few years. They're European so I would say it's a cultural thing but it sounds like a nice alternative. Honestly, she's more independent than some of the college kids I know who still barely know how to cook or do laundry. [/quote]
