[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of education is expanding your horizons. I can absolutely understand wanting to go to college away from your hometown, no matter how good the school might be, or how great the city is. I’m not forcing my DD (MCPS) to apply to UMD, because I can’t blame her for wanting to explore the world beyond the Beltway. Seriously, does nobody remember what it was like to be 18? It’s not like he’s following his girlfriend to State U, he’d be going to an Ivy where he’ll make all those great connections everyone on DCUM raves about. Neither option is terrible, so point out the pros and cons, then let him choose his own adventure. [/quote] The vast majority of students go to their in state college, and the vast majority of parents cannot afford private or oos. That might not be OP's case, but you are seriously tone deaf.[/quote]
