Confining Parents: Are these arguments good enough to let me go away for college?

<p>Most younger people are more liberal than most people of their parents’ age on social issues.</p>

<p>However, if their reasons are irrational, then your arguments, no matter how good, will not be accepted. Until you are 24, married, a military veteran, or have a full ride scholarship in hand, your parents can control your college education however they please through withholding financial contributions that the financial aid system expects them to contribute.</p>
