  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

well, if there was an other option I would have picked that, but my first year of college I moved to Philadelphia (3,000 miles from my parents) and hated it. I discovered that I actually did like my family:D .

Now I just live about 100 miles south, and that is the perfect distance.

I did my undergrad about 80 miles away from home. It was pretty cool to have my parents at arm's length. They were far enough away that I didn't have them interfering in my daily life, which was good, because my parents love to micromanage. But they were close enough that I could visit them anytime I wanted, which was also good, since I like them.

Depending on where I get into grad school, I might be going all the way across the country. That'll be a different experience!

Both of the schools I have attended so far have been less than an hour away; the university I plan to attend this fall is also less than an hour away. I really don't have much desire to be far away from my family because I get along very well with all of them and I would miss them a lot if I couldn't see them.
