<p>My alma mater often had profs living in the houses and dorms. Some lifelong friendships developed from those relationships starting as mentoring or even built-in babsitting for those with small children and just growing into lasting frieindships. I think it adds a richness to the experience. I’m all for it. My oldest is at a place with rich relationships between the profs and the kids somewhat due to the integration of the faculty into the social aspects. I also respect profs that need/want to keep distance.</p>
