If I went to the one closest to me, I would have only gotten half the hours which means spending more years at another university and consequently more money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-78834498125924701492017-04-05T17:51:00.823-04:002017-04-05T17:51:00.823-04:00Living in university residence at a university in ...Living in university residence at a university in the same city as the parents seemed to be becoming normal when my kids started university a few years back. I even knew one kid who lived in residence with parents that lived walking distance to the university. Give them a chance to go out on their own and grow up they said. Didn't seem very grown up to me.

And the proportion of them that aren't worth their cost goes up when you increase cost by going out of town. I don't have a strong feeling about what the proportions are, though.Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-70911492077694411992017-04-03T13:21:05.938-04:002017-04-03T13:21:05.938-04:00And i have doubts about university debt ... is goi...And i have doubts about university debt ... is going out of town really necessary for an undergrad degree or is it just a convenient way to leave the nest while getting subsidized? It is usually cheapest to live at home and go to a local university or college.Eric Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042460139621819388noreply@blogger.com
