[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are doing semester or more abroad it’s very helpful to have housing that fits with that. Move out end of fall and not return until September. [/quote]

No way would OP allow study abroad. I find it funny that OP is going on and on about independence and everything when she's a completely overbearing parent who has probably robbed her kid of most independent thought [/quote]

Hi, the real OP here.   DS has already studied abroad during high school!  In fact it was actually that experience [u]living in a dorm[/u] that turned him off to dorm living.
  
It's so odd how many people are projecting that I'm smothering when I've said multiple times on this thread that[i] it's my teen who is driving this.[/i]    He gets to make the final decision.  Maybe you don't like my tone or my audacity in questioning 4-year campus living for adults.  So be it.  That's not the same thing as a hovering mommy.

DP.  So find schools that do not have the on-campus living requirement.  Why are you having such difficulty with this?[/quote]

+1 It's good your son has clear ideas of what he wants, although he may want to research more on the specifics of what 4-years-on-campus actually looks like (e.g often not a little dorm room).  There are many options where students move off campus, but probably means he'll need more of a big state school. Residency requirements are pretty standard for LACs. The reaction you are getting here is to the huffy/offended/overreaction to the fact that some schools have these requirements. There's no one right way to organize life on campus so find a school that fits what you want.[/quote]
