[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I commuted Boston area (my parent’s house) to College Park (where my now DH was in grad school) for a bit over a year. I’d book the last flight of the day on Friday and catch a train from my job in Waltham. If everything worked and security was lights etc, I could make the earlier flight and go standby. I flew down about once a month and he flew up about once a month. It wasn’t ideal but we made it work. But….i was a lot younger, didn’t care about my job too much, didn’t have housing costs, and didn’t have kids. I also think it would have been really hard to do weekly

A classmate of mine was in a similar position for half of jr year and all of senior year. Her parents paid for her to live with their neighbor while they moved from the Boston area to the Midwest. She commuted to our private school with someone else in our town who picked her up. I don’t know how often they all saw each other. She put on a brave face but it seemed hard. I also have no idea how they handled things like extracurricular activities and doctor’s appointments. She had two young elementary school siblings who moved with the parents.  [/quote]

Extra curricular wasn’t in full scale 20 years ago.
I didn’t have any and got into a fine state school for free.[/quote]
