I've certainly seen the annoyance of spending an hour in a car every day, and of not living near my friends. OTOH, most of my friends are above-average IQ, since it's somewhat tough to get in to the school I attend (I was the top student in the sixth grade class the year I went to a public school in Hawaii, and I didn't work hard at all; last year I got an A in phsycis and Bs and maybe some Cs in other classes; I don't even remember exactly what grades I got. And I do work hard, at least part of the time.) And there's the benefit of meeting a wider variety of people, in terms of economics and race.
