[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]To reiterate: I don't really have an aversion to staying IS. I just wanted her to experience a different environment, city, etc. Probably because I went to school the non-traditional route (married, commuter student) and I have these fantasies about what it would have been like to "go away to school". My daughter is open to staying IS, and we're going to apply and explore our options. [/quote]

I get where you are coming from, but if you can afford it, you can still pay for her to live on campus or in an apartment with roomates to get more of the traditional college experience.[/quote]

This. We've got a ways to go before college age, and we are diligently saving, but unless the kids get some major scholarship, they are mostly likely going to a state school. My attitude is that even if they go to a close school (we are in VA, so George Mason, for example) we will treat it as an "away" experience. They'll live in the dorm, then later an apartment, we won't expect to see them every weekend, etc.[/quote]
