<p>i’m off to work in a min., so i must be brief, but wanted to get something up in response. FIRSTTIMELISA~ my comments are a direct result of the insulting posts by CTDAD. he has taken what was supposed to be my honest attemp to reach out and get info for my friend, to an assault upon us and the factual info i’m writing, BASED ON THE KID’S OWN COMMENTS. no student has ever come on and helped, and few use CC, but i was grateful fo whatever i got. YES ALLCAMPUSES ARE FILLED WITH SUBSTANCE USE, THAT’S THE NORM. but i’m hearing about police stings, the fact that friends can’t protect friends by calling an ambulance, but instead have to turn them in, etc. and i do think the schoolis coming down hard, BECAUSE they’ve let it get out of control!
i read CTDAD’s posts to my friend, who gave me a ton of his own research, which i don’t have time for now, but will post later. in sum, the UVM police ARE a branch of the Burlington police, with full-holstered weapons, uniforms, etc. he again says NO ONE will call them for safe rides, and they do patrol the campus to “bust” kids. PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT FOR NOW IS THET ALL MY QUESTIONS/CONCERNS REFER TO KIDS ON THE TRINITY CAMPUS ONLY!!! that’s what i wanted to know about! after the first few days of school, 55% of those kids went on transfer lists. they don’t have real food in a real cafeteria, and by my friend’s own walking, etc, this campus is 1.1 mi from the edge of the main campus, and 2.2 mi. to Redstone. and it’s not even winter yet. all for now. will be back.</p>
