NEW YORK (AP) - Lori Osterberg and her husband are people, Denver, but it was moved and is intended for the sake of adventure, when his only son to move out of the house for college.

Well, long story short, she did so. Something like that.

Instead of following the sun low in Mexico, followed her daughter in Portland, Oregon, in the second year where they. While taking long weekends and other trips to Canada and California, the couple bought an apartment near campus that three actions.

"We call our Sabbath. We are here at this time, with the possibility that spans his academic career," Osterberg said. "We have one year after another."

Sometimes mocked as the last helicopter education, Osterberg and others see only advantages to relocate or to purchase a second home to be near their children's schools.

Osterberg me happy. She and her husband work primarily online, rather than pay crushing 9-5 in the old way of college bills.

Dianne Sikel in Phoenix, this is football by his two sons, 18 and 15. There are plans to reorganize the calendar as an auctioneer, part-time real estate agent and former actress, as their college begins almost Anaheim, California next year, at the age so that he both could attend games.

This, he said, means that she will leave first Phoenix Saturday morning during the football season in a rental house in the area, on the campus of California, deals with his younger game in Phoenix on Friday. His younger will stay with her father when she's gone.

"These are moments that are lost forever. I refuse to lose," said Sikel. "I must be about my children."

Coldwell Banker real estate company who first noticed by the parents, as movements in 2008, when compiling its annual College Home Compare Price Index, the average price of accommodation took in over 300 locations. David Siroty a company spokesman, said the index has not been done for many years, but anecdotally to continue to see the alert pop on holiday and marketing in the country, near the campus.

Regina Santore, an agent for Coldwell in Knoxville, Tennessee home, the University of Tennessee, the couple moved last summer in the city, about 380 miles away in the western part of the state, live for the first year with them.

"They firmly believe they do not want their daughter to live on campus. It felt as if it would have been a better learning environment when she was with them. It seems to have a problem with it," Santore said.

The father, a computer programmer, and mother, an aspiring restorer installed in a house near the campus of 1600m² ranch style.

"I can understand that, frankly, these days," Santore that a 4-year-old said.

"But I do not know if I will appreciate to follow him to school," he laughs.

Santore, originally from a small town in upstate New York, said a neighbor who recently to live in New York with her daughter in law school.

"Basically, his daughter that her priority," he said.

More often told in Knoxville, Santore, so you do not have the parents who buy condos weekend to fight for hotel rooms to attend soccer matches in the stadium of 100,000-plus seat ut. The school has about 21,000 students.

A surprising twist to Roslyn Levy, an agent of Coldwell in Gainesville, Florida, is the parents who cross it, followed by the subsequent transmission to children in nearly 50,000 students at the University of Florida and Santa Fe College a manger.

"So what really works both ways," he said.

"We see the parents moved here or buy a second home here, either because they have a child to school here because they went to school here themselves," Levy said. "We see people buying houses, larger and more expensive than you would expect from a student, because they use around the house when they come here to visit."

Some said, keep the house when they leave the children.

Sheila Baker Gujral in Maplewood, New Jersey, is a Georgetown alum interviews with prospective students in Washington, DC, to school. She offered to do it for 10 or 15 years, and last summer went by offshoring.

"I was this girl, and asked how his parents of his departure," Baker Gujral said. "She said she did not mind living on the east coast and the west coast, so apply in these locations" I was like, "I should say they are going to move somewhere. You go to school," and she said, Yes. She does not look very excited. "

Baker Gujral said meeting for dinner and channeled his teenage daughter with a friend whose parents moved to New Orleans, where he entered Tulane with her.

Osterberg believes that his movement more support for his 19 years. "He had his ups and downs in the first year," he said. "He missed his dog. He missed his friends. We will miss him."

Parents need a few basic rules when there for the second time.

"We told him he had to be in the clubs, things like that and it does its job." Osterberg said. "She considered studying abroad next year"

Parents continue?

"It's beautiful here, and all, but at this time we do not have on what we do here, decided," Osterberg said.
