That’s good! I notice that having the car on campus makes it MUCH easier for the kid to come home even if they’re not super close to home. My SIL’s niece used to drive home 5 hours every weekend! On the contrast, I know a kid who went to school 15 mins from home and never came home because he didn’t have his car with him…
Then again, one of our school’s college counselors used to work at a private school up in LA (where a lot of children of famous people attended) and some of these kids would go to school at Arizona State, Uni of Arizona and they would fly home every couple of weekends…they’d go to the airport straight from class. Now I get in this case, the families are wealthy, but that’s expensive!
I wonder if parents, kind of subtly encourage this coming home frequently? or they don’t exactly discourage it?
I know if my kid were coming home a lot, I’d wonder if they were unhappy at school. Also, I’d love to see them, but if we’re paying money for you to live on campus, then you need to stay on campus and get involved. Even if kids are going to college close to home, they don’t need to come home all the time…why live on campus if that’s the case?
