Obstacles: This College Thing—Is It the Right Thing?

My Parents Don't Want Me to Leave Home


It may be difficult for your family to think about you leaving home to go to college. Talk to them about their feelings and share yours. You'll probably find your parents want what is best for you so you can have a bright future. That often means getting a college education.

Many students continue to live at home while going to college–it's one way to cut costs. But even if you go away to college, reassure your family that it doesn't mean cutting ties. It just means your family bonds will stretch a little further.
