[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your 20-year-old is not capable of living off-campus and still successfully attending classes, you should be very concerned.[/quote] It's not the classes that are the issue, it is that when you're on campus it is much easier to be involved in study groups, group projects, and to get help on homework.

The result is a much-increased drop-out rate. Most colleges and universities are trying to get out of the housing business. This results in a lot of off campus student-only housing. That may alter the stats but the stats are real and [b]I know of multiple families whose kids have starting cutting classes and failed to graduate after moving into an apartment[/b].[/quote] Their kids were not college material. Sorry.[/quote]
