[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids often go to school OOS when they can’t wait to get away from family. [/quote]
yea, I know of a few kids who are looking to go as far away as possible to get away from their parents.

The kids I know who are close to their family want to be at least within 3 hours.

Also, coming home for the holidays will be a major PITA for those kids who go really far away. Could be why they go that far, though, so they have an excuse to not come home for the holidays.[/quote]

My college roommate and I were very close with our families.

I wound up 8 hour drive from home and she was a 4 hour flight.

Granted, she was quite well off and I was more middle to upper middle class.

I just wound up there. My mom had wanted me to go away to college because she was not allowed to in the 60s.

I enjoyed being able to have a little freedom during those years. I grew as a person while remaining tight with my family.

And this was before cell phones and zoom and all that tech that connects us even more[/quote]
