Not necessarily. The tuition at many CCs is one fifth of that at a state or private school. Many students I know want to be on their own and share an apartment with one or two other students, much like a dorm. Some work part-time and go to school part time. The cost is still lower than room, board and tuition at a four year college.
For the parents in the article posted, yes living at home for the student is probably the best answer.
