Rollins College

My daughter will be going to rollins near DisneyWorld. We live in WI. It would be great to find someone nearby for emergencies, etc. I know there are many students who live nearby. If you have an incoming freshman, that would be even better!

Baldwin Wallace, Oberlin, and Cleveland

Hi, just chiming in. We are very close to Oberlin and about 40 minutes from BW. Our daughter will be transferring to Kent also which means we will be traveling there fairly often. Happy to help with anything if needed! PM me is the best way to reach me.

JMU and CNU

It would be great to trade "on call" duties with parents who live near James Madison Univ. We live about 10 minutes from CNU and would be happy to help out anytime we are needed. Our daughter will be at freshman at JMU in the fall and we don't know anyone in that area. Thanks!

My Son's Housing for his internship just fell through. He is going to be at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore from THIS WEEKEND till early Aug. Anything safe around the Med Ctr or University would be best but he has a car and any nearby suggestions would be welcome.

Because schools are out, and JH is reconstructing the Hospital Dorms, he is having a very hard time finding a room or short sublet. Great Kid, 21, in town to study. He is Heading to Baltimore this weekend no matter what so... Any Ideas? Feel Free to PM me...

Thanks Tom (Long Time CC Parent) in NC.

Also in Atlanta Area

I also live in the Atlanta area so can cover all of the schools previously mentioned. I actually work right across the street from GA Tech and live very close to Emory (part of my running routes are through the Emory campus).

PM me for cellphone number.

Chiming in late but I am in raleigh, so UNC CH, Duke and NCSU amongst others are in my neck of the woods.

How do I search this thread to find some kenyon neighborhood parents?
