<p>Great job 1tcm. This board was such a big help when my S was an incoming freshman, I hope the new students and parents look back through the old threads. They gave us a wealth of knowledge.</p>

<p>Let's not forget the ever popular bed lofting question.</p>

<p>Mets-On the opening page of the UMIAMI forum, at the top right it says page 1 of 24. If you go through those pages all the old threads are there. Page 24 is from Oct 2004. There is some great info out there, especially for parents. I highly recommend taking the time to go back and check it out.</p>
