[quote=Anonymous]I have to admit, that I would prefer that my DC not go too far away for college, and preferably stay in state. I have to say that I WILL NOT require it.  My daughter is free to choose any school that fits in our budget, but as to why I would prefer her to stay in state...The first is for purely selfish reasons, but I think if she stays in state she is less likely to relocate far away after she graduates.  Of course, I know this can still happen, but I do think it is less likely.  The second reason is more for what I perceive as being for her own well-being, but I actually think there is a huge advantage to making what tends to be your closest friends for life in a location where everyone lives relatively close to each other.  Even if my daughter ultimately moves far away, she will always have a base of close friends when she comes home to visit.  It seems like if one goes to a school where everyone is from all over, it would be much harder to get together and see these people as adults.  And yes, I know that people do manage to do this, however, obviously it's much easier if most of the friend group lives in the same state. [/quote]
