| Be Very Careful Choosing a Dorm
It's been 25 yrs since I was living on the U of M CP campus, but I remember the "legendary" party scene like it was yesterday. I was a "good" girl from a conservative home that found U of M's open promiscuity & alcohol/drug culture overwhelming (and I joined in, natch). Please take a look at the dorms before choosing a place for your child to live. Consider on-campus "communities", if U of M has such a thing (most big campuses do). Even consider an off-camput apartment w/known roommates. You can get to the campus by city bus easily. Most of all, keep in regular contact with your incoming freshman. And remember, even the most serious, shy student can be swept up in the freedom college offers. I was in the dorm directly across from the student union & the party never stopped. Good luck! |
