[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the OP's question -- while I did not attend Georgetown  I did attend college in the same city/metro area where I grew up.  Campus was within 5 miles of my parents home.  Now that I have a senior going off to college -- I realize now how hard my parents "worked" to make sure that if I went to college 5 miles away -- they gave me the same space to grow and breathe - as my siblings who went to college hundred's of miles  away.  I was busy and wrapped up in my own experiences.  As I settled into my activities and friend group, I realized i had the benefits of a monthly night out to dinner with my Dad, "conveniently" running into my mom at the grocery store (and she would end up paying) or while out with my friends, running into my parents at the pizza shop and them picking up the tab for our entire table.  I also had to live by "Mom's rules" -- just because you are 5 miles away, you can't bring your laundry home[/quote]

You're mom was tough! I went to school several states away but for my siblings who attended in the same metro area, my mom stood in line and purchased textbooks, picked up and dropped off my siblings' laundry, chauffeured all of their friends to the airport, and stored their friends belongings in our basement and crawl space.[/quote]
