[b]Why do people want to sent their kids so far away? Apart from instate tuition I want my kids to go to school in VA so they are close by and settle in VA after college and marry someone from around here. I want my kids and grandkids nearby. [/quote][/b]

Holy crap.  Talk about boundary issues.  What a nightmare you are/will be, PP.  [/quote]

I'm glad that my own parents did not have the view stated above that they wanted to keep me close to home.  Instead, they wanted me to have other experiences in different parts of the country, and there was always the option to return home.

It seems a bit controlling to want your child to go to college near you so that they will settle near you.  Granted, my parents could afford to send me to an out-of-state college and knew that is what I wanted.  Even if they could have only afforded in-state, I think they would have encouraged me to look for scholarships and be adventurous.

A friend's DS was recently admitted to a great college in California.  DS's mom always hears from the local NoVa moms "Oh how can you "let" him go so far."  My friend is allowing her DS to go to the best college he can, which is great!
