Now she'll have rent and utilities plus her school expenses, where at home all she had to pay was her school.

Bout an hour away, but it's on the mountain and the roads are bad. She was going back and forth anyway to see her boyfriend, so she may have well moved up there.

It's just tough to watch my little girl move away. She'll always be my little girl.

Y'all got two colleges that are only an hour apart?

And to make matters worse, her boyfriend was in the Marines! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I hear ya. I'm 56 and mom still calls me her little boy sometimes.

A MARINE!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Oh the shame of it all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Actually, there is a community college here, three more in surrounding counties, and Appalachain State in Boone. That's where she's going, but not to App State. She's going to a community college that has a campus in Boone.

Good gosh, sounds like Y'all got more colleges than carter's got liver pills!

Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a community college around here, that's for sure!

CC's are two years right? Then she'll go somewhere else?

Hopefully. She's talking about joining the Air Force after that, but not sure if that'll end up happening or not. She's in love.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />
