It was never the will of God for anyone to move away to attend college. You attended the community college in the next county over. If you attended university you made the 75 minute commute one way.
Good times.

We have been very fortunate. Our local community college system is excellent and actually allowed my youngest to transfer with 46 completed hours that applied to his degree from dual credit and summers. TAMU is less than 2 hours away so while he lives in the dorm he is able to come home weekends without much fuss and we can be there in a flash if he is sick or has car trouble, etc.
The environment is a good one as the school places a lot of emphasis on honor and personal responsibility. It is also a place where he can learn to make choices for himself. His grades, his willingness to be available for us on the farm when needed, his speech and demeanor and the fact that he still has a prayer life and cares about the things of God all reassure me that we made the right choice.
God does not have any grandchildren, each person has to accept salvation for themselves and I think college is a great place to make sure that's in place. I have found plenty of people who do not agree with me one bit however.
