[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am with you on this one.  DD is freshman and every single one of her classes was cancelled on M,T, & W.  They think they are doing a favor for the out of state kids, but they are not.  I rebooked a new flight at a $200 change fee plus the flight cost almost $100 more to fly her home last Friday so she did not have to sit in largely empty dorm for 5 days with nothing to do.[/quote]

Really concerned that your 18 year old didnMt know how to occupy herself for 5 days without the structure of her class schedule. She couldn’t study, read a book, volunteer, see a movie, go for walks, visit a museum, work out, etc. considering that most kids go almost straight into finals, that was a wasted opportunity to study without distractions.

Oh don’t be so obtuse. When everyone else has gone home to their families campuses can be depressing. I’m sure PPs kid could occupy herself but hanging around by yourself when everyone else is home with their families is no fun. [/quote]

Besides which, the question isn't can the kid survive, but about respect for other people's time and money.
