[quote=Anonymous]Truth is most families and teens, even rich ones, are super insular and provincial, plus parents nudge their kids to stay close to home. Over half of my UMC high school went to the same two public universities and kept seemingly 95% of their same high school friend group throughout college! After college many of them lived with each other in Chicago. It takes a strong-willed outgoing broadminded teen to want to attend college hundreds if not 1,000-plus miles from home where they might not know anyone or perhaps only sort of know a handful of peers. I admire that fearless 'explorer' trait but not every 18-y/o has it. I'm not even sure if my kids have it, although I hope they do and we've saved the money necessary for them to go anywhere they want.[/quote]
