[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Why are all these schools so close?

because people in VA think there is VA and then the world. narrow

Most people go to school relatively close to home.

The ones that still have the umbilical cord attached. There is a whole big world out there. Perfect age to enjoy it.

Nothing cracks me up more than UMCP freshman who are 20min from home and spending 13K to live in a moldy leaky can of a dorm.

What is your issue? Why do you care where they go to school? Perhaps they have a financial or medical reason. Maybe they just like it. Maybe they realize these are great schools with incredible academic opportunities. You are contributing nothing to the topic at hand. You really have nothing better to do at 6:30 am than to tell strangers how you laugh at bunch of college students because you think their living conditions are beneath you?

...Not to mention that for many families, these excellent local schools are very affordable! This way, kids can go to college and still have money left for grad school! Why would anyone trash that option?

There is an entire generation of Americans that are saddled with major college debts that they cannot repay. This is a major consideration for MANY families. [/quote]

That is BS. If people wanted to save money for grad school, they would commute the 20 minute drive, not spend over $10,000 a year to live in a shared  dorm. Heck I think it is over $15,000 with meal plan. MORE than tuition.

Or they would go to community college for 2 years ad get their BS for half the price.

Plenty plenty plenty of schools you can attend OOS for less than in-state tuition at UMD and especially all in-state VA schools.

The kids that stay local are doing it because they want the high school 2.0 experience and want their Mommies. [/quote]
