Academic dorms vs. non-academic?
I'm considering colleges right now, and some require on-campus housing freshman year. My mother is very worried about what goes on in college dorms (horror stories from the Internet and her sister, who has 4 kids already through college). I don't want her to disallow my entrance into such colleges just for that reason. I'm very studious, and I was wondering if academic dorms or honors communities are any better. Obviously they won't be free of drugs and sleeping around, but I was wondering if they are any better. Thanks for any input!

The dorms are a far safer environment than some of the stories you might hear. The university can supervise and discipline students who get out of line in the dorm on a much better basis than off campus living. The university I attended had dorm options with floors that were known as quiet floors, or science major floors , or grad student floors, coed floors, honors floors etc. etc. You can pick whatever floor caters to your particular interests. They also have the advantage of having plenty of students nearby if you want someone to study with or need homework help.
You could visit the campus to tour the dorms and see what options are available. You should be able to choose whatever dorm option fits you best, and this should put your mother at ease too. You might also be able to take a virtual dorm tour at your colleges website.

The classes are many times harder in inner maximum faculties and you do ought to artwork greater durable. you are able to desire to bypass on campus and ask pupils some own questions and see in case you would be tender there. I went to a extensive Jesuit college my 1st semester. i did not do properly as i became an older pupil and ought to not take care of the religious self-discipline. I Left.
