I agree that SOMEONE at a university should be responsible for following up on student absences.

Not professors, they have too much to do and may not know their students personally. But attendance should be taken correctly, and[b] the counselor assigned to students can knock on their door. [/b]

BTW, about the roommate thing: there is increased demand for single rooms on US campuses, and colleges are responding to that demand by building more single rooms than ever before. So in some cases, you can't count on roommates to check-in with an absent student.[/quote]

Huh? Who is "the counselor" assigned to each student?

People get nutty over administrative bloat, but you want each kid to be assigned this extra person for welfare checks? The colleges had a ton of resources and your student is supposed to be capable of taking advantage of them when they need those services. If they aren't independent enough to do that, maybe have them live at home and go to school locally.[/quote]
