CMV: The average college student should go to community college and live at home and transfer to your local state school while still living at home.

Just my thoughts on the student loan crisis.  My wife and I both went to community college and local state schools while living at home to save money. We were both pretty average students in high school and college and while we got accepted into all of the colleges we applied to, they would have forced us to take out massive student loans.  
I realize staying at home isn’t possible for everyone, but most college students I know have a similar background as me and they chose to leave home for the experience. Although they were just average, many of my my high school alumni that went on to college went to school far away from home to get an common degree from an average school. 
It’s been 10 years since I graduated high school and my wife and I have average salaries and graduated with zero student loan debt.  One of my coworkers is from my high school class and he went away to school and never stops talking about his student loan debt.

Just as you've used generalizations, so will I.  College and the college-years are not just about going to class and learning a skill.  They are about understanding who you are as a human being, how you interact with people in various settings, how you organize your life, etc. It is a semi-structured place to help mold who you are as an adult.

Again, being generic, living with parents and attending a community college is a vastly different social experience than moving away on your own for the first time. You will experience those years differently.  Maybe not on the academic side, but on the social side you will.

I would argue that if a person wants to understand who the are and what they find valuable, doing it outside of the comfort of your parent's house is best. The tour guide Rick Steves has a a great motto (paraphrased); "travel is the enemy of ignorance."  You learn more by interacting with different people than just reading about them. You generally become more open-minded and less sheltered as you meet new people, whether you like them doesn't matter.

If the average student cares about saving money as the only point of college, then yes, go your route.  If they want to experience the full spectrum of life as a young adult than go away from your parents. You can always learn, go to class, or get a job.  You are only 18-23 once.
