I’m just curious to know what you consider a
to be (though presumably you meant university as colleges in Canada are generally 2 year diploma granting institutions).
I think there are more criteria to consider when choosing whether or not to live on campus or at home. With my 2 kids the older one will definitely live away. The younger one most likely will not (or at leas will attend closer to home). None of it has to do with our desires as parents or finances.
