[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what nobody ever talks about. A 18-yr-old is developmentally at a stage where they are interested in romantic/sexual relationships. It's totally normal for them to want to meet and spend time with partners. But who wants that going on in their kid's bedroom? I'm sure some people can make that switch, but I don't want to wake up one morning a find a 20-yr-old stranger in my bathroom after his night with my daughter or son.  Once they're a bit older and are past that stage, I could see having them live with me as two adults. But there's a huge transition period that the young adult needs to go through, and that the parent-child relationship needs to go through. And that's much easier to do with them in a dorm someplace where you don't have to sit and hear it. [/quote]

Jesus H Christ!

I went to CUNY.  It's not community college, but it is a commuter school, and there are no dorms.  People still met each other, had relationships, and had sex.  People also had good friendships, meaningful schooling, excellent mentors, research experience, and went on to have good employment and post grad schooling.  I have nothing but fond memories of my time spent in college, and don't feel I missed out on anything by not having a traditional college experience (per DCUM).  [/quote]
