[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see why some parents would want the ease and certainty of guaranteed housing. But for those kids who are jetting off to colleges that are IN metropolitan cities like Nashville, Houston, NYC, LA - there is nothing more freeing than living independently outside of the constraints and rules of the school. Kids who live off campus actually have to be an adult in the city. Landlords, utilities, maintenance, package deliveries, sublets, parking - they need to handle all this. And, at least to my kid and their friends, there's thankfully no more required meal plan. They figure out the local grocery stores and make runs to trader joe's for the week's provisions, split the costs, and figure out who is cooking meals. My kid was actually bummed they Had to stay on campus Sophomore year. But, it's likely equally a factor of the type of kids who choose these kinds of universities over a small suburban or rural campus.[/quote]

Seems like NYC and LA would be very expensive to live off campus? Not sure about the two red state cities.[/quote]
