<p>The theatre party scene was a little too much drama for my d(!), she is in a sorority and likes that scene a little better. She probably would stop telling me things if she knew I posted this stuff here tho so I’ll just leave it at that. </p>
<p>She does have a friend that was kicked out for a semester for alcohol poisoning (non bfa), but says the girl had many health issues that alcohol made worse unfortunately. She’s not sure if she’ll return or not this spring. It is true that Elon has a no tolerance policy for underage drinking now. Underage drinking (especially binge drinking) is so dangerous and I’m glad they’re toughening up their policy, but the flip side is that we suspect some (most?) of our kids do it from time to time. They need to realize that the consequences of it could include expulsion at some schools, including Elon.</p>
<p>The bfa kids, and I would imaging any other kids that participate in school sports or other intensive school activities, benefit from having a very busy schedule and need to set priorities. These leaves them being unavailable for too many parties.
My d also had points taken off of a grade this semester due to missing too many classes. Some of the flights I book are a day earlier/later than her class schedule in order to save money, so it’s a trade off i guess.
She is very happy at Elon overall, and has so many good friends that I think she’ll have the rest of her life. (I’m a little nervous about all the weddings she’ll have to attend all over the country in the future!)</p>
