Well?
Just some random thoughts.
For the first one, the answer's probably money. I don't know about the rich kids, but there was a time intially when I came to the US, I used to choose "Great Value" from Walmart (trips to Walmart was a pain too!) just to save a few cents! I think about it now and I feel so pathetic! And most of all, no car! Public transport sucked (and it still does) in CLL, so without car, it was pretty much {home-school-walmart-rent car during only holidays} routine! I can say confidently that I could have been classified as handicapped without the car! Many many more things that were missing then compared to now that can't be enlisted. Would the living be better off if I had stayed back home? Heck, ya!! But then, no pain, no gain. Which gets us to the next question.
Was it all worth it? Wow. That's difficult. After every major task, don't you ask the same question? For some, its obvious. For many, it isn't. We can never answer the whole lot of 'what if' questions! What if I had stayed back home? This single question forks off a number of other What if's. I know few people who are back home and are currently my age when I was in TAMU: and they "seem" to be having more "fun". So does that mean I would also have been better off? No one knows. Or ever will. So, answer to this: Maybe. At least, am on the positive side of "Maybe"! :) I guess that's what made me go to TAMU in the first place! :)
Analysis is not yet complete though. Gaaa, mid life crisis! No maybe, quarter life... No no, its not quarter life... and neither mid life... now that's a crisis!! hehe! ;-)
