“If we respect the preferences of the kids who want to live in the dorms throughout college, maybe we should respect the preferences of those who want to live off-campus throughout college.”

I see where you’re coming from, but I don’t think it’s the same thing. I consider living in the dorms to be an educational experience. A student who’s trying to avoid an educational experience merits different advice from adults than a student who’s trying to maximize an educational experience. At the end of the day, it’s the student’s decision, but I’ll push back a little more on some preferences than on others.
