Oh boy!...or Girl as the case may be!

Now she is only 6,570 odd days away from an institution of higher learning. That is if she wants to go or if higher learning will still have the same shape, feel and application that it does today. Regardless, she and many others until she gets there will most likely need to live away from home during their time of educational experiences. This need combined with the housing desires of aging boomers to be 'connected', will mean more emphasis will be placed on higher density living with higher level amenities in areas close to universities and campus communities. That said, where can we take the independent living situation and combine it with the online educational world that we see more and more of? Will this mean new campus type housing situations without real campuses? People will always crave social activities (meeting, eating, drinking, etc) in communal spaces but the time they will do it will be temporary or only during different phases of our life. Why shouldn't our living quarters take the same role? It does but not with real pay off in the same way we are preached about home ownership. Is it because of the desire to have our rent be an investment? Why not get landlords then to have good paying students earn credit toward...good credit or mortgage qualifications. That way, they can be earning and learning while they are learning to earn. I may just be babbling like a new dad with little sleep but it always somehow comes back to real estate opportunity. Its in the interest of my girl's future that this babble takes its course...be it online or on campus.

Want to pursue this course with me? Send word, I'll be up.
