<p>K. since this is all anonymous, the OP pm'd me, one of the issues is that mom wants to visit her college student ALOT and wants the college student to go home ALOT....doesn't want to cut that cord</p>
<p>SO for those that say, well, stay close to home, whats the big deal, sometimes a person needs that distance otherwise mom will say, hay, its only 2 hour drive, come home, with all the guilt to go along with that, or I am coming up this weekend, be ready</p>
<p>Often is is a combination of reasons, and often a student needs that physical distance to have the emotional space to grow up</p>
