There are several drawbacks to driving an hour or two from home to a far away school. A few specific to developing relationships:
long hours spent alone on a bus or van instead of socializing while walking or riding a school bus with classmates
long wait for parents to get you when sick so far from home
no/limited after-school activities
no/limited play with classmates after school / weekends
your bus gets you home too late for local after school activities
you are a stranger to kids in your home town
no shared school experiences to discuss with local kids and no home experiences to share with classmates
