My parents tried to keep me from going away to college. They wanted me to go to a closer school.
I ended up in a big argument over it. I ended up telling them I was 20 and I could go anywhere I wanted too. They finally ended up agreeing to let me go.
This is just a suggestion. If you are only eighteen, you may want to wait awhile before going away to school. I went at 20 but I would never have been ready at eighteen.
Good luck. Be respectful. Tell them like it is.

after 18 you are an adult you are free to do what you want to do but you are also responsible for your actions.

They can also keep you from living in thier home...after 18, you are considered an adult and old enough to provide for your self. But if you want to live at home...tread lightly! +5

You're reading Can my parents legally keep me from going away to college if I turn eighteen? I'm talking about college visits, and my mom is telling me not to count on it because she doesn't think me responsible enough to go away to college...
