There must be some financial angle here. Mom and Dad aren’t usually more “overprotective” of Junior than they are of themselves.
Well, I am not going to watch the video at work, buit as some schools can charge well over $15,000 for room and board, there might well be a financial component to the decision. However, say what you will about the classroom instruction, I find the dorm life in most colleges to be far more corrosive of the student’s morality and well-eing than the instructors.
