I don't like college. I never liked the idea of it when in high school. It wasn't like I could just avoid all the nonsense either. It was everywhere. Not only did the staff talk about it almost everyday, but the students I was surrounded by did too. Teachers gave us warnings. Students were excited. Me? I dreaded the entire idea.
Moving away and not having to deal with your parents are what some students can't wait to experience in college, which is why they go far out. Others are happier staying at a college not too far away, so they can return home. Sure, there are some that commute, but some say they don't get the full college experience.
