I fully understand why she wants to get out of the dorms, not exactly clear why she doesn't want an on campus apartment as her scholarships would transfer to that housing.

Well we've been hashing it out via email. Her father and I have agreed to continue paying what we have been paying and she plans on getting a second job this summer to make up the difference. I know that they will rehire her at McDonalds for a second job as they call her every time she's home to see if she'll cover for someone.

Her father and I still are not happy about this but we really don't have any choice in the matter. She is an adult but she's not as independent as she thinks she is.
