am i missing something here? why could he not continue to live at home? and save the $400 a month? can't be THAT big a town???
Yep. It's a 45 min drive without traffic! He'd be looking at 60-70 mins in the AM and 70 mins for sure in the evening. He got a partial scholarship or else I would have had him attend close to home at the CC that is 30 mins away. We live in the desert north of Phoenix so going anywhere is a minimum 20 minute drive. Closest grocery is 15 mins. Funny thing, though, my XAh lives 1.75 miles from us so that's why I stayed up here to make sure my son could be close to both of us.
