<p>Regarding the term “intellectual druggie,” I assume this does not refer to someone who is “high on knowledge” but to a certain type of drug user? Why would such students live in a substance-free dorm? </p>
<p>And about the “30 feet from the entrance to a building” rule, does that apply to anything students are smoking, or just tobacco? </p>
<p>I realize those must seem like outrageous questions, but I only posed them because reading everything on this thread and even having such questions come to mind has altered my impression of Oberlin. </p>
<p>I think the original question posed by CBParent was reasonable, but the responses have been so varied/contradictory and have included such a mix of perspectives from parents, students and school administration that it is difficult for the parent of a high school student to make sense of all of it. And since I see that a lot of people have read this thread, I probably am not alone in feeling confused.</p>
