As I said, I was being cynical. I know he likes Lehigh better - I was getting on the point of the better social and athletic scene, yet he wants to live home.
I get some can’t afford to live on campus - but this doesn’t appear to be the case.
Living at home vs. embedding yourself in the campus community - from the first time you walk into a dorm to the first club meeting to the late night study session - all happen when you live on campus.
He’s monetarily concerned - even pointing out the gas costs to get to PIttsburgh - but we don’t know if he’s monetarily constrained.
It’s simply my belief - that when one goes to a residential college but lives home - they are giving up so much of the reason for attending the school to begin with.
That’s simply the point I’m trying to make.
