I don't see it exactly like that. From the way it looks, Muggleborns
just trade one world for another. They leave the Muggle World to go
and live in the WW. And considering that the WW is a secret world, I
wouldn't say that going to Hogwarts opens the world to them, quite the
opposite. It's like moving from the States to some unknown little
country, where you'll have more possibilities but where you'll become
lost to the rest of the world.

barmaid here:

What canon is there to back up the idea that Muggleborns must "leave 
the Muggle World" and be confined withing the WW??  We really know 
very little about Muggleborns.  Harry, although raised in the Muggle 
world is not Muggle born and is not in any way a good example of what 
an average kid of either Muggle or Wizarding stock would experiance.  
Hermione seems to be able go back and forth between worlds very 
nicely.  We see at OoP that the magical world and the Muggle world 
are "closer" to each other, more intwined, than we would have thought 
up to that point.
