Many students are moving out of province and in some cases out of the country to go to College or University. Personally I would love to have travelled farther away or to a new country for school - it is much too expensive for my budget unfortunately!!! :( I am also the type of person who would probably miss home way to much as well! The culture shock would also be something else to consider - depending how far away you are moving and where. I'm sure in the end the experience is worth the cost by far.
I would like to hear from you guys - Who has moved far away for school?! Why and where?
If you have not like myself - why? and where would you go if you could??
I didn't move away for school because I would not have been able to afford it, as I'm paying for all of my schooling myself. Also, like you, I would miss home (and my boyfriend and his lovely family!) too much. I think moving away does have its benefits though; you get a sense of independence that you might not get at home, and you learn to be more responsible for yourself. Also, I hear it's a lot of fun living on your own, haha. :) I don't know if I'd be as dedicated to my schoolwork if I didn't live with my parents, though. I think that the ever-present allure of parties and friends would be pretty tempting for me, and I might let my schoolwork slide a bit.
ReplyDeletevery good points.. focusing on the things that are important would be tricky.
