although I agree that freshmen in college should be able to live out the dorm experience, if he cannot transfer to a closer dorm, I want to force him into the apartments (at this point, I wouldn’t be forcing him since he is agreeing with the idea as the orientation session wears on).



I haven’t read all the postings in between, but I WOULD STRONGLY advise against this. I lived in an apartment my first term and it put me at a disadvantage regarding my social life for a long time. A lot of your community and connections are formed the first term of your freshman year at the dorms.
