are unannounced fire drills in dorms a bad idea?

Hmm, well I have two pretty good reasons for exiting the dorm for an unannounced fire drill: 1) hey, it might just be real, and 2) who wants to stay in their rooms for 20 min while that obnoxious siren bares? We had one this morning about an hour before I was gonna wake up for church, and frick, I was in my boxers, but I got out. Also, regarding the “we are now adults” argument, I daresay that a good majority of kids in college do not yet know how to be fully fledged “adults”, and especially in our society of helicopter parents and whanot.
