  • Answer:

    I understand that you don't want your daughter that far away from you but you are being selfish. Let her go to the school of her choice. You are the one that decided to move, why should she have to suffer

You will be denying your daughter one of the great benefits of going away to college-learning to live on your own and take care of yourself.

I went to college close to home because my parents were going to be paying out of pocket for my education and I wanted to help keep costs down. After one semester I ended up getting student loans but didn't transfer (still not sure why) I still wish that I had gotten experience and had some "adventure" so to speak, by going to a school somewhere that I'd never really been before. I stayed in my hometown, didn't meet many new people, and didn't get a chance to have the experiences that I could have. I still regret not transferring. I say let your daughter go to school where she wants to go. She will come home to visit, and you can always go visit her occasionally. I know you want her close, but as they say, If you love someone, let them go. They will come back! Good Luck!

I'm one of those kids who my parents want to go to college nearby home. I didn't have any choice. I had to listen to my parents. I dont' even stay in a dorm. I am not very happy but i'm starting to be coz i'm graduating in a few months and will be leaving the house and be independent. I will be able to do what i want even though i started independence late. If I were you, I'd let my daughter choose the school she wants to go to. To be honest with you, I felt that my parents don't trust me enough to make my own decision. As parents, you should be able to trust your daughter 100%.
