Anyone want to go away for college just to be away from their parents?

<p>Other than wanting to get into a great school, I also have the urge to get away from home. I live in Miami so everything is so hectic. My current goal is to go up north for school. </p>

<p>Who else wants to migrate?!</p>

<p>I do. (but not to leave my parents and family, just to leave this state. I live an hour north of Miami)</p>

<p>No.
From younger siblings?
Prolly</p>

<p>Yes oh my God yes.</p>

<p>From my highschool. Miami here, also.</p>

<p>I live near Miami as well. Partially to get away from my parents, but more just because I want a new environment. I’m really sick of the weather here, and I don’t want to just end up in high school pt. II when I go to college. I really want to go to up north.</p>

<p>The north is cold and you have icy roads to deal with .</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is exactly why I want to leave Miami. I’m not planning to go out of state, just north of Florida. New environment=happy me. Good luck kiki :)</p>

<p>^Cold is nice and I’ll take icy roads over all of Florida’s grossness.</p>

<p>It’s the opposite here. I live way up north and I hate it so much. The weather is a constant downer here. I want to go somewhere where there’s actually four seasons.</p>

<p>but…your parents can cook for you, do your laundry, take you to eat out, clean the house, and buy you stuff. why the urge to leave?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Microwave, laundry machine, friends, latina maid and myself… JK. I’d just like to get away for college. I’m sure I am not the only one.</p>

<p>Absolutely</p>

<p>My parents are great, I just want to go experience a different place :). I want to live somewhere new and meet people.</p>

<p>Going far away to college is one of the only excuses in life where you can enjoy a different atmosphere and experience new things. I consider it like a “vacation” veiled by a collegiate education illusion.</p>

<p>I love my parents.
I just want to get as far as possible from my home town</p>

<p>^same. except that the town I live in isn’t really my hometown.</p>

<p>I find it kind of sad when kids say they’re trying to leave to get away from parents. I mean there are a few parents who are legitimately bad, but the number of kids who want to get away from their parents seems a lot greater than that number</p>

<p>Not my parents.</p>

<p>My teachers–yes. There are some really great ones and those are the lenient ones.
The ones I am tired of give pointless busy work (notes, vocabulary, coloring related), are strict, and give the class time to work but you can’t talk. Oh and getting lectures that are nothing more than what is in the textbook–it’s exactly the same thing too, they’re worse in fact. Not sure if that continues in college. And I have all AP classes but still get this.</p>

<p>I want to go to college but not just to get away from my parents. I hardly see my father because he’s always away at work anyways.</p>

<p>Not my parents, but just to meet new people and get away from the people here.</p>
