<p>My ‘suitcase’ college was three hours from home and I would say back then, at least 50% of freshman and sophomores (so basically anyone in a dorm) went home on the weekends. At least that many, maybe more. The biggest bar night in town was Thursday nights because so many students left for the weekend (and the drinking age was 18, so freshman and sophomores were legal drinkers). </p>

Sorry I wasn’t clear in my post following yours. When I said ‘those kinds of schools’, I meant it in a generic way as the title of the article suggests, not any specific school. I did not mean for it denote any specific school. In fact, I don’t even know what school your daughter ruled out; and I never mentioned UMD-CP at all Joblue.</p>
