[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does staying in state = on a leash? I was 2 hours away, hardly ever came home, and definitely had the college experience. I even spent a year at UMD but didn't live at home - same deal. It's not the distance, it's the attitude of the parent/child. I loved knowing my parents weren't that far away, but they certainly weren't a part of my day-to-day (or even weekly/monthly) life.[/quote] You are exactly right: it's not the distance, it's the attitude of the parent/child. And a parent who mandates their kid apply only to local schools does not have the correct attitude. They're signalling that they're not ready to let go, papered up with some trivial concerns about transit time and theoretical medical emergencies.[/quote]
