No offense, but discouraging everyone from doing something just because your single and very unique experience was a particular way doesn't seem very logical. Anecdotal evidence is only that. And going away to college doesn't automatically equate to living in the dorms.After graduating high school, I attended a college just a few hours away and lived in the residence hall. I hated every minute of it and did very poorly academically. After two semesters I went back home and commuted to another college and that was better in every respect. My parents were away from home 2 weeks every month due to work so I did get some experience of living by myself, which was much more valuable than the experience of living in a dorm.
So going away to college had zero - actually negative - value to me and I discourage anyone from doing that.
