I don’t see them giving up at this point. I’ve brought up this topic very often since last year and she only agreed on the condition that I commute. They see it as me abandoning them, and that people will trick me and get me to do horrible things or whatever. I think I could reasonably persuade them to let me apply in-state (especially if housing is covered), but out-of-state is going to be too much of a headache to argue lol.
