[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school way overreacted and I"m not sure they are legally allowed to keep the tuition based on student behavior in an off campus hotel.[/quote]

The school needed to send a message to the prevent other selfish imbeciles from ruining the year for everybody.  They did the right thing.[/quote]

By illegally keeping the tuition and the boarding?

I will not pay my kids to apply there. [/quote]

They’ll fine without you.

If NEU is like my kids college, then the kids signed a contract before they returned spelling this out.  And if they had decent parents, the parents sat down with the kids and went through the schools requirements and the consequences for not complying. Our says discipline action for any violation, suspension without tuition returned for serious violations or ongoing violations. One of which is hosting or attending party of more than 10 kids.

As my child knows, this is serious stuff. His getting sick might be minor, but he could infect someone who dies. He could also become part of a cluster that sends his whole campus home.

My child also knows that he was not heading into that college experience he or we had hoped for. But, the best chance he has this school year for any freedom and in person learning. The only other options we found were LOA to work at a low wage, low skill job or classes in my basement.

There are no good option here for college kids. Residential education with adherence to a lot of strict rules is the best that’s out there. I’m surprised how many parents and kids seem to feel like college students are entitled to ignore the pandemic. They aren’t. When they do, they put my kids health and residential education at risk.

If your kid doesn’t have the maturity to follow the rules, keep him or her at home. Please. Give the kids who can follow rules and are willing to do so a shot. [/quote]
