I'd even extend it beyond family and include friends into that category. Personally I think it's a fairly noble thing to stay close to your friends and family. I value those connections more than a job, which was a big factor for next internship. I choose a lower paying job in an area where I have more friends living and working/going to college.

The issue of loneliness ties into this submission I made a few weeks ago. I think a lot of it goes back to people valuing jobs or money or having a necessity to get the best job possible that prevents a lot of friendships from extending into life beyond schooling. I really hope to have a full-time job after college that is an area where a lot of my friends or family lives.
