[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have one DC who's a sophomore at UMCP, and our second child (and only other child) will likely also be attending an in-state school.

Dh and I have been eager to move for years, because neither of us like our house (tear down in MoCo) and we want to move to a lower cost area.  We want to stay in Maryland but will probably look an hour or two from our current location.

Problem is that both kids are very attached to their friends in the immediate neighborhood and area. We've lived here since they were born and they have a tight group of very close friends. Older DC comes home regularly and hangs out with friends (holidays, over the summer).

DH and I would love to move as soon as younger son goes to college. We think that after sophomore year of college this really changes as kids start to do internships and spend less time at home but we're not sure.  We also think kids could adapt and drive from new house to visit their friends, though it to our drive could make this hard.

What do others think – stay here for four more years in a house that we don't like at all (and will likely need to spend expensive repairs on), or move once younger son is a freshman and figure that they will adapt and that it won't be a big deal?

Based on your own experience as a young adult in college, and from what you've seen with other kids, how often do kids generally spend time with friends during college? How destabilizing would it be for them? [/quote]

To OP: I have only read the initial post in this thread.

I have a question for OP: Do you plan to leave a forwarding address for your kids ?[/quote]
