[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's nice if the college kids can come home to -generally- their home area. My parents moved several states away when I graduated from HS. I was coming "home" for college breaks to an area that was not MY home. I did fine though. It did force growing-up a bit. Because of it I was probably more focused, than most, on evaluating where I wanted to live after college graduation, starting my own adult life. I never considered moving back in with my parents, since I had no connection to their (new) area.

That's just a reflection. Among my friends, their parents did very different things, and we all adjusted just fine as young adults. Upshot advice - do what will be good for YOU. You do not need to make decisions based on your kids, not once they are in college, IMOH[/quote]

This is nice to hear from you, PP of this post.  I grew up in a great close-in suburb, which I LOVED going back to during breaks in college (which  I went to very far away).  It made me feel extremely secure.  I never felt I had to live in that city when I was done with college, but I absolutely, no-holds-barred, loved the fact that my parents still lived there in my childhood home, so much so that I kinda felt sorry for my friends whose parents had moved away immediately upon them graduating high school.  I am actually relieved to hear the opposite view point and the pros associated with it in case that's what happens for my children once they are in college.  [/quote]
