[quote=Anonymous]I went to a big state school...I remember when I got caught smoking weed in the dorms freshman year, they told me they were going to call my parents so I might as well tell them. They never called.

Most people moved off campus after freshman year, so you're on your own at that point. What's the school going to do if your kid gets wasted at an off-campus party? Even if they get a DUI or an underage drinking charge, they aren't going to call the parents...because the students are legal adults. If the school had called my parents every time I came back to the dorms drunk freshman year...hahaha. Their phone would have been ringing every night.

Don't raise a dumb or totally sheltered kid and they'll be fine. They have to learn to fend for themselves some day, unless you plan for them to live with you forever after college. If you've done them the disservice of not having them learn some personal responsibility before college, then college is when they have to learn.[/quote]
