That's for sure. If it was MY choice, my very hypothetical daughter wouldn't even step foot to visit dUKe, UNC, Louisville, LSU or Florida. Same goes for a "Bob Jones' type place. But, as a mom who watched a son choose Ohio State (and is blissfully happy there) and another son choose a school 9+ hours away from home, I would want her to choose the place that *she* calls home and is excited and content to attend.
Unless it would be a "Bob Jones" type place, where she'd have to fund every last cent of her education. Seriously.

Yeah, but your team broke my heart a few years back in Commonwealth and well, we aren't at LSU either. Therefore, no LSU!

UNCC, JCSU, JWU, Belmont Abbey or Queens. If either insist on staying in town 2 years is my limit, and they can spend them at CPCC, which has been in the Top 3 Community Colleges on several lists for years.
Plus there's a trend at UNCC of kids who are Charlotte/Metrolina natives having apartments in the University Area or living in the dorms. That's just crazy to be a college student living in the same city as your parents and paying for separate housing. If you want to cut the apron strings, cut them both and go away...don't keep hold of one for dear life after cutting the other.
Oh, and don't get me started on the siblings both going to UNCC and the in-town parents paying for separate apartments for BOTH girls.

Meh. I knew kids who went to school near the town they're from but moved out into the dorms or an apt.
Just because you're not going far, doesn't necessarily mean you want to live with mom and dad.
