[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read this whole chain but my DS had a terrible situation freshman year and housing didn't help. I recommend finding out if your school has an ombudsman -it's a student liason that helps with difficulties. Two days later my DS was magically moved to a different dorm.[/quote] Yes, this! Escalate. It's a good life lesson for your kid. Many kids are really passive. They are used to listening to and obeying authority, even if that authority is the minimum-wage drudge who answers the phones in the housing office. Learning how to assert yourself and get past the initial "no" is an important skill. [/quote]
