Going to college OOS

<p>Hi! </p>

<p>I'm considering a school OOS, but I have some concerns. </p>

<p>Is transportation (flying) expensive?
Does it take a while to adjust to a different environment and climate?
Is it easy to move back home after graduation, and to get a job back home?
Can you get summer internships in your home state if you wanted to?
How do you stay in touch with all your OOS friends after college? </p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

Depends on the state. There’s a big difference between going from Hawaii to Vermont for college and going from Minnesota to North Dakota for school.</p>

<p>

Depends on the school, where you’re from, and how easy it is for you to adjust.</p>

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A good number of college students end up “boomeranging” back to their parents’ home when they graduate.</p>

Usually.</p>

Skype or other means of communication.</p>

<p>OOS universities are great, but quite expensive. There are private universities that do not differentiate between OOS and in-state as far as tuition goes. If you really want to go somewhere and you have a financial plan, then do go ahead. But if not, then just stick in-state.</p>
