[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone said they got an apartment because they wanted to do the "adulting" thing.

The thing I loved about college was living among a community. My friends and I would get together for movie nights and TV shows. I remember walking across campus in my PJs to go watch South Park (first season ;) in the dorm where my friend was the lead RA. We also had a meet up time in the dining hall. We would then go out for meals and movies off campus from time to time. Just such a fun time in life before we all had to go out in the real world. We have stayed in contact and I would happily live in the same place as all of them and raise our kids together, share meals together, etc, etc. I see all of them as family to me. Almost 30 years later and we still all look back fondly at our times together. And I promise, this wasn't a fraternity/sorority house thing (although I was in a sorority as well as a service fraternity) - this was just a group of friends that came together over time. [/quote]

+100. My kids were used to taking metro to HS in DC, had jobs, etc before college. I specifically looked at schools that required 3 years (at least 2) on campus.  My kid is at one that requires 3 and is currently abroad sophomore year in his own apartment cooking his own meals (getting more elaborate), managing an internship, classes and a local sports team (via 3 forms of transportation).

It’s not necessary to move off campus sophomore year to be a ln adult. Good lord [/quote]

+1 We are only looking at schools where kids stay on campus all or most years. We want the college experience for our kids. They have their whole lives to live off campus, no need to rush that. [/quote]
