<p>so do students usually keep their phones and bring them to college or make new plans when they arrive? just curious</p>
<p>People usually keep their phones so they have a number in their home area code. Its just more convenient that way. Besides, basically every cell phone plan these days gives you free long distance, roaming, etc. nationwide, so there’s really no reason to get a new plan when you get to college.</p>
