[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want your 18 year old to have zero adult supervision and none of the social programming in campus reaidential life, then agree, Florida is an acceptable choice for your family.

There is a reason, however, that T20 colleges have been building more and more on campus housing, including the uc schools.[/quote]

Yes, it is because this generation of kids you and your peers raised are helpless and need hand holding and supervision, apparently.[/quote]

Some kids want to be intellectually challenged in and out of class.  A well developed residential college system provides that type of programming.  It says a lot about you that you can’t grasp any pros to providing on campus housing.

NP- I think you are the one being obtuse. Off campus students are literally right next to campus. They have access to all the same clubs, student union, gyms, games, sports, dining halls, and the off campus residences have programming as well. [/quote]

Apartment buildings are the same as dorms with RAs, facukty advisors, on site tutoring, and non alcohols based social programming.

Your better argument is to that some kids don’t care about those perks.[/quote]

Many of the off-campus buildings at UF actually do have RAs. The activities provided by the buildings are NOT alcohol centric at all. They cannot be since many residents are underage and it would be against the law. As for tutors and advisors IN the dorms? I have never heard of this and went to college (a top 20 one) and lived in a dorm. [/quote]

Things have changed in the past three decades.  These are standard at top private colleges now.[/quote]
