Personally, I want to attend JMU. My dad wants me to go to GMU and live at home. I am currently undecided as to my major. I want to major in the school of media arts and design at JMU specifically the digital video and cinema concentration, I am also interested in theatre, but that is obviously a bit of debate in my household as well. Money is not ENTIRELY an issue for my dad (the extra room and board at JMU), but does give more incentive to go to GMU. I am trying to convince my dad to let me go where I want. He is also worried about my mental health and wants me to live at home, but the truth is I will have to move out some day, and college is a great way to learn to live without your parents. Thanks for reading.
Go with what you want, it’s still your life. College makes moving out easier because you get to come home every couple of weeks. You need that transition.
