Smoking allowed in residence halls?

<p>My daughter was pretty disappointed when she realized that when she heads down to WF in two months that she’ll most likely get stuck in a dorm where smoking is allowed. Pretty pathetic that the school can’t be more upfront about it with prospective students. Think that most students … and their parents … from more socially responsible states just presume that a college isn’t stupid enough to have second hand smoke in living areas. Healthy lifestyles, public health benefits, etc. But no … guess second hand smoke is just a nasty rumor in North Carolina.</p>

<p>Does Wake need to keep the tobacco farmers happy? And look – college is a great place for the baccy companies to hook more smokers:</p>
