<p>yunsang, just relax, no big deal at all.
makes no sense to get worked up over this kind of stuff
no big deal here
I do think that schools like Harvard and Penn and Columbia have a nice mix of students, mostly in college housing, but basically because of their many commuters. it makes for a nice mix. a lot of kids going to cornell have already lived on their own, some of which go to prep high schools here in the states where they allow students to live off campus and share apartments. for those kids, and a lot of others, getting put in a dorm with kids who have never lived outside of their house and basically are wild just because they suddenly have freedom, is something they don’t want to live with. they’ve been there done that. my honest opinion … thanks for your imput
p.s. not a big deal, but as “far as you know” where did you get info that it is mandatory? maybe it is…</p>
