[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's a great way to ease into real life. [/b]

Most kids are sharing space for the first time in a dorm. Then they are managing the logistics of a home in their first apartment.

Unless you're the kind of parent that micromanages and does this all for them.

And just saying, that when I was in college, we were itching to get out of the university-owned buildings because of all the rules and regs. [/quote]

My son told me about a big fight his friends had who were living off-campus for the first time. They had ants and cockroaches. Dishes were left in the sink for days. Someone poured oil down the sink and clogged it. It culminated in them getting a whiteboard and assigning chores. My son then thanked me for always nagging him to wipe down the counter, etc. at home. He likes not living in filth. This also reminds me of a funny skit Jimmy Fallon did with Bill Burr who acted as an advice columnist. Jimmy asks for help about a roommate who leaves dishes in the sink. Bill advises him to leave them on the roommates pillow, only if he is bigger and strthan the roommate.[/quote]

This. I learned so much about how to live by having to deal with all the problems that come with searching for housing and living with people. [/quote]
