My town is pretty close to Boston, so it never occurred to me to go away to college, plus there was that cute boy who lived the next street over, so I commuted to college while living in my parents' house.
I have at least two neighbors (not quite sure about a third) who are living in the houses where they grew up. I'm fairly certain neither served in the military or attended college, so I believe they have lived their entire lives in the same homes.
