<p>Something to consider for some people… When I was applying to colleges out of high school, I was planning to go to a particular school and wanted to live in their substance free housing. But I talked to a bunch of students that go there and was informed that a lot of the people who choose to live there are more conservative than the rest of the population, too, in areas besides just drug use. So, if possible, that is something to research if that would be something that would make your kids more/less comfortable. At the time I wasn’t sure if I liked that idea. I have had lots of friends that are more conservative than me but we never seemed to click on the same level as my other friends… I think they seemed a little sheltered to me, and I seemed a little barbaric to them!</p>
<p>(Though once I did move into a regular dorm a few years later I realized I’ve grown into someone MUCH more conservative than I would have expected!)</p>
