when I went to college, my folks wanted me to stay at home, it made sense, cheaper to live at home, folks were happy I was there, plus I was happier (most part) in finding jobs, etc. all in the community I was already comfortable with/in.

It's a shame perhaps re. the student leaving for the military (qualified w/ a maybe). Maybe the student wasn't able to afford the schooling on an ongoing basis, the school tuition itself and housing, etc.? Thus, the student chose this option willingly and eagerly.

College and associated housing, lodging, etc. have all gone up massively, pricewise, so any way that incoming students can address and handle these high schooling costs is to be applauded.

I only wish the best for such students. It can't be easy to look at these costs coming out of high school (and being a student looking at these ridiculous costs being new to the work force, a newbie too).
