[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious - are the people saying that it’s terrible that kids go far forcing their kids to stay close to home? I went to school 8 hours from home and eventually settled about 2. But DC is where my parents met and I had extended family still in the burbs. I had no desire to go to the state school 15 minutes from our house. I didn’t even apply. The closest school I applied to was 1 hour from home. My own child didn’t apply anywhere less than 3 hours from home (those were in VA, though)[/quote] Some kids don't care or want to stay close to home. I'm the one who got a list with further schools along with local and my kid is pushing for more local, although ok with the East Coast (except southern states). Not everyone feels the need to get away. If ours goes close, they will live in the dorm. I appreciate the cost savings as I'd rather pay for graduate school and other things.[/quote]
