Because most kids go to community or cheap state college

9-11 hours (Maine). Did the dropoff freshman year but he's flying back this year and I'll ship stuff to him. It's not so much the drive up there, but coming back without another driver.

25 minutes if there's no traffic. Up to an hour and a half if we go during rush hour (but then, we have no reason to go during rush hour).

He goes to UMD.

Kid #1: 4.5 hours. After freshman year, I would drive to college, drop all his belongs and return home.

Kid #2: 7 hours. Had to drive thru DC, so had to time the drive due to the beltway. Bless you people who deal with that on a daily basis

Kids were 1 year apart so the drop offs and pickups were often in the same week.

Fellow Badger family here!

We're making the drive for move-in day - just seemed logistically easier than flying and shipping some stuff and renting a car to purchase other stuff there. But for breaks, she'll fly home. There's a direct flight to DCA on Delta.


PP here, we have actually decided to fly bc DH has miles from work travel. We explored but are not shipping anything. Instead DD is packing her clothes and personal effects into duffle bags and large rolly suitcases that we will check. Then we plan to spend 2 days going to Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc once we get there. DD is trying to get us to drive to Container Store in Milwaukee; we will see. On Wisconsin!
