<p>It's for some very protective parents who want their kids to go to school nearby. I never live in a dorm, however I did live in apartment nearby my school with roomates. So technically, I never experienced dorm life (had to work 30 hours/week),however I'm a little bit afraid/uncomfortable of the drug/sex/greek scene. I can also see why some culture would not want their kids to have these kinds of experience. Is that true for some parents(non-American born) are a little bit nervous about the dorm scene?</p>
