<p>How far away from home? And was/is it scary, for those who had/have to move far?</p>

2

<p>3000 miles. im a little scared, but im mostly just incredibly excited!</p>

3

<p>wow 3k!! i'm about 1000miles.. get to drive over there whoo.. ):</p>

<p>Those are some pretty long distances! How often are you guys planning to visit home?</p>

<p>As someone who moved 417 miles away to college, I can tell you that the first semester is the roughest (no family to run home to during difficult times), but you get used to living by yourself after that.</p>

5

<p>35 miles 10char</p>

6

<p>Three hours. The perfect distance, in my opinion.</p>

7

<p>Don't know exactly, but that should be around 6,000 miles. When I was going home this time, it took me about 30 hours to travel from my dormroom door to my parents' appartment door.</p>

8

<p>30 minutes! hehe so i can pop home anytime to grab something i'd forgotten or to get a home-cooked meal or do laundry... </p>

<p>but i'm in boston which is completely different than my suburban town, so i'm happy!</p>

9

<p>Around 900 miles.</p>

10

<p>about 300 miles.. the drive isnt too bad.. and flying only takes an hour</p>

11

<p>Try 7000 miles on for size...</p>

12

<p>1600 miles. Once I explained to my mom that it took the same amount of time to fly home as it would to drive home State U, she relaxed a little.</p>

<p>I go home for winter break, possibly spring break. I'm not sure about Thanksgiving yet. It's not a big deal.</p>

13

<p>about 500 miles</p>

14

<p>I'm 15 minutes away from home.</p>

15

<p>another 3000 miles here</p>

16

<p>300 miles or about 6 hours driving.</p>

<p>I enjoy being this far away from home. I think it has helped me become more independent and self-sufficient.</p>

17

<p>Two hours driving, an hour and a half by train. Close enough for weekend visits, but not close enough for my parents to decide to pop in unannounced. (Plus, it's a pain to drive to my school, haha.)</p>

18

<p>haha 44 miles maybe? just about a 1 hour drive</p>

19

<p>Mine is a 3 hour drive away. The perfect distance. Far enough that my parents won't constantly be knocking on my door, but close enough that if anything happens I can go to them.</p>

<p>S1 is 300 miles but it felt like 10000 to me (not to him!). We are limiting S2 and S3 to 600 miles. My D can live at home until she is 35.</p>
