Again, my thanks for your advice.

We have the power strips with the breakers. We can get a smoke detector, although I believe every room has one in his dorm. We'll check the batteries. CO detector is a plug-in model?

What about those emergency fire escape ladders for the window? Are they worthwhile? Can a student be expected to be able to knock out the window and drop the ladder swiftly? Is a $40 one just as good as the $85 models?

Only upperclassmen live on the ground floors of the dorms at his schools, because they're all double suites on those floors. All freshmen and soph's are 2nd and 3rd floors.
