how many of yous moved away for college? (with poll)

[kermalou]

jus curious

also do you think it's essential to move away.

i moved away and think it was great, I have friends that didn't and wonder why i think it was so good.

 

[UnatcoAgent]

I did.

Not essential, but a very good idea.

 

[ToeStub]

I left home at 17 and never regretted it.

 

[thraxes]

Best thing i ever did.

I can't stand being in my parents house longer than a few days.

 

[PoPPeR]

depends on the person obviously. Some people have bad relationships with their parents or just need a change of scenery. Others are very comfortable with their parents and have no problem being close or even commuting from their parents house.

I'm a little of both. I have a very good relationship with my parents, where I wouldn't mind staying here at all. But at the same time I feel as though if I want to move on with life, it's time for me to leave.

What's the point of going to college/university if you don't move out of the house?

 

[Colt45]

not i.

 

[HombrePequeno]

Unless I wanted to go to the crappy community college in my town, I kind of had to move out. Going four and a half hours each day would have been a hell of a commute.

If you don't move out, you won't relate to people that did very well. It's a good experience if you can live dependent only on yourself for a while.

 

[slpaulson]

Yeah
Only about two hours away though.

 

[nageov3t]

yup. my college was about three and a half hours away.

it was a great experience.

If by move out you mean live in an apt or dorm while going to school, then yes. I still come home during summer and winter though.

 

[jammur21]

Move out. You won't regret it.

 

[Sukhoi]

Home in Ohio, school in Illinois. Best idea ever. I'm so much more independant now.

 

[effowe]

I moved out to Chicago. I only live 45 minutes away from home so I can go back whenever I want, but it's definitley alot nicer to have your own place, and your own rules. Of course it all depends on the situation.
