For you guys talking about seeing your parents- I guess it depends. Some of you guys are already living away from home all the time. But for some college students, they still wanna be totally connected with their family. And in med school, some of us want to be at home as much as possible, but I guess it varies. I do think those long breaks in college are actually for students to have the option to be home for a good portion of the year, as opposed to be almost always away. I guess for med school, those " training wheels" are off. I think family is a big part of who we are.
