[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it has to do with money as much as access to an outstanding selection of schools relatively close by to the DMV. None of our four oldest kids initially was willing to consider a school more than 5 driving hours away. Fortunately there are some excellent universities within that range. Two of our kids ended up at a school about 5.5-6 driving hours away, and the other two are at 4 and 5 hours. They all said they wanted to be close enough to be able to drive home for Thanksgiving and other short breaks, and they wanted us to be able to drive there for a short weekend visit. One will do a junior year abroad so that obviously will be out of driving range. We'll see what happens with the younger kids but I bet it will be similar. They've seen the benefits of reasonable driving proximity.[/quote]
