College close to home

Mine wants to travel the world. Leave the state at the very least. Ended up down the road after a late realization that it was, in fact, her favorite school.

She did talk to lots of people who all ensured her that she would not even remember she was technically home after the first week in.

We give her plenty of space and she settled in really well. Maybe it’s bc it’s on her terms but she really likes that she can show up at a siblings game, or join us for a birthday celebration. Occasionally she borrows the car to do a “target run” with her friends.

She takes care of her own stuff just like any other student who is away, but a year in I think she feels like she has the best of both worlds.
