[quote=Anonymous][quote]At a public U if you're goofing off you can EASILY find other goofs to clown around with. Miss class for months? Nobody cares. Fail all your classes? Nobody cares. Go home and never come back? Nobody cares.

At decent privates you ditch one class everyone knows. Your door is getting knocked on by faculty. Your classmates are going to bother you. You'll be seen as abnormal. You can't fly under the radar at a decent private.[/quote]

Yes, obviously no one should attend a public university.   :roll:

The majority of upperclassman who move off campus at public universities do just fine (and plenty of kids crash and burn during freshman year while living in dorms).  Not everyone is interested in "clowning around" with "goofs."

DD just spent her sophomore year living off-campus with two non-student roommates 1500 miles away.  She had all As spring semester and spends plenty of time studying and working on group projects on campus.  She knows her professors, talks to them during office hours, and gives them an explanation if she misses class for some reason. She's grateful that we're paying for college and actually appreciates being there.  This is a school with 20,000+ undergrads that is probably not DCUM approved. [/quote]
