<p>So...I will be living in a dorm next year (as a freshman).</p>
<p>The school that I will be attending is close to the city. Let's say that for some random reason I want to spend a friday in the city and I want to spend my night in a hotel instead of sleeping in my dorm. Am I actually allowed to do this?</p>
<p>(I wouldn't miss any classes).</p>
<p>:P</p>
<p>Yes, there is nothing holding you there. Its the same as going home.</p>
<p>Depends on the age required for checking in to said hotel in the state you will be attending school…</p>
<p>Different ages for different hotels/states…</p>
<p>^For NY/MA/FL/CA/VT…isn’t 18 okay?</p>
<p>^ You need to check with individual hotel chains; your mileage may vary…</p>
<p>For example, Marriott in NYC (think Courtyard, Fairfield Inn etc) will not allow 18 yr olds to check in by themselves…</p>
<p>In Florida, each individual hotel decides minimum age for check-in…</p>
<p>^^Unless, of course, they require a photo ID (think, driver’s license) upon check in…even with cash…</p>
<p>yes, the sleazier the hotel, the less likely of the check…</p>
<p>If the hotel lets you, then yeah, it’s fine. A dorm isn’t going to require you to come back by a certain time- they’re not your parents. If you don’t want to go back to your room one night, then you don’t have to.</p>
<p>Are you unsure if you’d be allowed, or what? You’re not at your parents’ house, lol. Yes, you can stay/go/sleep anywhere you want. You can even skip classes if you want to, believe it or not.</p>
<p>That is why leaving home to attend college is a major milestone . YOU get to decide what you want to do .</p>
<p>^ badass! :D</p>
