[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've got 2 kids at 2 different colleges with leases signed for off-campus apartments.  Both will be going back. I agree with posts regarding the college experience is more than the coursework.  Hiding at home with mom and dad is no life for a 19 and 21 year old.[/quote]

Np. I think you are right about college being more than academics but too judgemental when you say "hiding" at home with mom and dad is no life.

Not everyone can afford another apartment especially if the parents have lost their jobs.  You do realize in th he past most people didnt move out of parents' home until marriage.  I'm sure you are not suggesting that those teens had "no life".[/quote]

What an odd response.  What timeframe of teens are you defending from my judgement here?  The 18th, 19th or 20th centuries?  I was answering a post about 2020 college students' plans.[/quote]

This is a privileged mindset. Most kids in this country commute to school. [/quote]

I’m not the PP but I don’t see how this is more of a privileged mindset than other posts on DCUM. Many students in this area go away to college and most parents on this board are so snotty they won’t send their kids to schools that aren’t elite. I see what the PP meant by “hiding at home” and agree I don’t want my college aged child staying home in the fall,

If money is the issue it’s a different story.[/quote]
