Perhaps you could research your options and find the perfect balance with a school that’s distant, but not too far away from home.

When I was applying I wanted to go 4 hours away from home. My parents didn’t have any say in my decision but I know they wanted me to stay as close as possible. They were preparing for me to go to a distant school and supported me. I got into some great schools that were far away from home and I also got into schools that were a 20 minute drive from home. Ultimately, I decided to stay local, my school is only a few minutes away. I chose my university because it was the most affordable and although it is close I can live on campus. There are some advantages to staying close, my biggest advantage is being able to come to a home cooked meal whenever I want to.

Simply, just look at all of your choices and explore them well before making a decision.
