[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The annoying part about the parent page I’m on is how so many have not read any of the material from the school and just come to the FB page asking what is already available to them. The kids are beginning to get firm by saying look at the resource (it’s called different things at different schools obviously). Or parents who just now are trying to figure out how to get their student to/from the school because it’s not near a major transportation hub and are SHOCKED that this is handled by the school.

Yes!! Apparently many parents are not capable of doing a quick google search. Or capable of searching the Parents Page for previous threads that would answer 99% of their questions .  Or the parents who aren't aware that kids must live on campus for 2 years (at my kid's university).  Don't get how you could commit to a school and not understand that (and it was not first gen parents---that I get, that first gen are learning so much of the process as they go along that they might miss some stuff because the process can be overwhelming---these are parents who both have college degrees).

Or the parents who complain the university should be doing more to keep the kids safe.  My kid attended a Jesuit university, and most are located in the neighborhoods nearest the "not nicest areas of a city".  Then parents complain about "how dangerous the surrounding areas are".  When really, the university cannot be responsible for crime that happens over 1 mile from campus, it's out of their jurisdiction---they have no control over those areas.  Yet parents complain constantly.
