[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know it's my fault.  I need to get off social media.  But the hand ringing about sending kids to college is hysterical.  This week I've read posts about:

--child's roommate does not have a social media presence, should they contact residential life
--child's roommate wears pants, while their child wears dresses.  mom wants to switch roommates
--why can't parents stay beyond 2 hours to set up their childs room? Their child doesn't understand what all the packed items are for
--child's roommate doesn't care about coordinating room decor; Their child does.  What should she do?

What posts have you read that make you wonder if these parents are ready to land the helicopter?[/quote]

These are hilarious. But I don't fully understand the first one. Should who contact residential life, and what exactly is that?[/quote]

Residential life is the college office in charge of dorm life, including assigning/reassigning roommates. So the implication is that an assigned roommate not having social media is so terrible the child needs to be able to switch roommates.[/quote]

Thanks, I thought they might want to either help the person, or assume they are suspicious and can't be trusted.[/quote]
