During my kid’s tenure at Rose Hill, I visited often…mostly in freshmen year due to illness etc. I never stayed at any of her dorm’s: Queens, O’Hare, Walsh, or Campbell. I was often there late or sometimes arrived early and with very few exceptions (during the DAY when we were in and out often or my kid vouched for me) , signed into the building. I always got a hotel in Manhattan or northern NJ. I get the frustration and feeling like “its my MOTHER and therefore no security risk or boyfriend/girlfriend issue”, but the university would be faced with severe criticism and maybe a lawsuit if someone didnt sign in and something happened, particularly somone who wasnt invited. Its for your protection, and gives comfort to parents.

The RA’s and RD’s are held to a high standard and have a job to do. College kids are a handful on a good day.

Good luck at your hearing,but be remorseful and respectful. Next time your mom can get a hotel…and you can stay with her. :-)
