You will deinitly be going to the greatest community college if you go to college of Dupage, its right down from my home. Also my son was in the marine corp and was stationed on Okinawa, and he loved it, my phone bills were over 500.00 a month when he was their, he was a little homesick but loved it all the same, and so will you. Yes, give mom a break, we love our kids and want whats best, we want you to experience all that you can so please be careful. Have fun
