[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would this bother you as a parent? We're certainly not rich, it was somewhat of a stretch for us to afford a private college. (No debt.) She begged us and we made it happen. Well, a handful of her best high school friends landed at a large public university about 30 minutes away. She talks to or texts her mother on a daily basis and it seems every other day she's headed to and returning from the public university her friends are at. We're not worried about her grades, she's a great student, but I'm concerned she's not dedicating herself to the private college and classmates there. She claims she loves her college. I can't help but feel like what is the point of wasting 3x more for the private if she's itching to be at the cheap public all the time.[/quote]

What kind of school did she go to in high school? If she’s at a very wealthy private school she may not fit in culturally as kids with a lot of money have a certain culture and upbringing and maybe she feels more comfortable with the other kids at least right now. Just be happy she has some friends in the area and she’s not all alone.[/quote]
