[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's only important what the student thinks. Is she happy? Would she be happier if she lived in a dorm and developed her independence? Is she holding back or are her parents hanging on?[/quote]
It is my niece. She is the same age as my daughter and it's just interesting to me to see the difference!!

She tried dorm living the first semester at a school 3 hours from home, hated it, transferred back to a university close by and is living at home for the semester. But I think she's trying the dorms again in the fall. Parents are happy to have her, but yeah...it's her that's holding back. [/quote]

Holding her back?

Seems like she knows what she wants.  Her last school wasn't a good fit for whatever reason and she corrected that by coming home, and is willing to try  dorms in the fall. Sounds good.

It's not a big deal she doesn't have a boyfriend maybe she's not  interested in one right now or maybe she keeps that part of her life private.

Same with friends- she may have them, but just isn't out every night or posting all about it on social media which is fine.

Seems like she is probably more mature than he busy body aunt who gets her jollies  by scrutinizing and judging her niece.  I feel bad for your daughter and the pressure she must be under to live  up to your standards of happiness.
