I can’t believe that with the variety of CSU’s and UCs, you couldn’t find one public or private school, in all of our state, that would have made you feel like an independent adult.
We’re in California.
We drove 900 miles From Southern California to Northern California to drop off our freshman daughter.
Had we driven east, we would’ve been in multiple states.
It’s odd that you would think that California wouldn’t make you independent, given that every other OOS kid wants to come to our state for their educations.
My 18-year-old freshman daughter booked her own Southwest flights, got to the airport on her own, boarded with luggage, came home, then did the similar routines or car pools to go back and forth throughout her 4 years.
Your parents can’t afford to send you out of state. Both you and your parents made a mistake in not openly discussing your college and financial obligations. You were supposed to have a serious financial conversation with your parents before you applied.
My eldest daughter traveled from Southern California to New York, she received multiple scholarships that would fund her out of state tuition and her room and board. Did you get anything like that?
