[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, to put things in perspective, I went to university 500+ miles away from my home in the '80s and was only able to communicate with my parents by letter or a once-a-week long distance call (it was too expensive to call more often) from the common use phones in the dorm.  [b]Much easier now to stay connected -- perhaps too easy?[/b] [/quote]

Nope. I actually believe that what you’re describing is a major cause of mental illness among college students who have it.

PP here. By that I mean I think going 500+ miles away from college is a very bad idea for most kids, contributing to anxiety, rugged individualism and loneliness. Life is short and young adults should spend time with their families.[/quote]

Seriously so happy you clarified. I came to the east coast for college, knew NO ONE, had no network, and though I started out strong I crumbled, Foundered and fell into a clinical depression. And I was a student with the means to fly home often and family that visited me. I hope my kids go to school nearby!!!! [/quote]
