[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less of the futuristic "Big Brother" is watching and recording, and more of the "old school."

Young men and young women live in separate dorms.

[b]Dorm check in is 11:00 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on Friday and Saturday.  [/b]

Every student lives in a dorm except seniors, who have a choice of where to live.  Colleges can buy up the existing off-campus apartments to facilitate this.

Every other weekend the college divisions or dorms sponsor later evening social events.

Drinking and drug use for social reasons is limited to certain weekend hours on campus, and is off limits in the dorms after ten on weekend nights.

This is college, not high school. 20 year olds do not need curfews.[/quote]

Well, obviously some do.  The problem is too much freedom dumped into kids' laps all at once.  The result is binge drinking and casual sex.  You aren't automatically a mature adult just because you've got a high school diploma.[/quote]

Who the hell are you blaming here?  Hannah?  Her parents? The University? The college Ski Team?  Her good Friends? The bars?  Because if that is what you are doing -that is absolutely ridiculous.  JM is thirty freakin' two and he came on to a vulnerable teenager and made her disappear. [/quote]

I'm not blaming anyone!  Just agreeing with the PP that college kids would be safer if we still had single sex dorms with curfews.  I am amazed that all parents cannot see the wisdom of those rules.  I had too much freedom as a college student and made some bad decisions,  I was lucky nothing happened to me.[/quote]

I disagree.  I was in a single sex dorm, with sort of a curfew (no guys allowed past 11 - which was  a pain.  Easily circumvented romantically. But a pain study wise because the person who was helping me -or I was helping - had to leave before we were done reviewing).
