No one in their right mind would want to send a 13 year old girl to college. Possibly on-line courses, but not the whole normal college experience. I had a 16 year old room mate at College and she was the wildest girl on campus. Her parents had kept their thumb on her at home and she was religious- just went crazy at college.

Homeschoolers sending their young teenaged kids to local community colleges are NOT sending them to live there. It’s for a couple courses a semester as a commuter with the parent providing the transportation.

You were saying ...

Her parents had kept their thumb on her at home and she was religious- just went crazy at college.

It's been reported that boys in college find that girls who have been raised "religiously" at home are the ones who will "go wild" in college, once they get somewhat removed from some of those restrictions that they were under, while at home in a closely-watched situation. In a university setting, even with a commuter college, you are not as closely watched as you would be at home and in high school.

Whether in the context of a "commuter college" or living on campus -- it would be approximately the same thing, because of many of the other students maintaining living quarters either on campus anyway (even with that commuter college) and having a lot of surrounding apartments right around the commuter college for university students, and one associating with those students who would be living right there, too.

There are lots of things that one does at the university, like lab course, gaps between classes and study time in the libary and study groups with other students, while still on campus).
