I’m married, it must be B. We also have the same views on money, very odd.
That makes sense!
Aren’t they still?

I went to school in Utah (not BYU), there’s a lot more conservatives here. It’s no surprise that I didn’t date much, didn’t get married until age 35, and didn’t have a kid until I was 37 (wife was 41).
First, I was an engineering major and working half-time. That’s a huge commitment. I was so busy that on Friday and Saturday nights, I didn’t want to go out and party, I just wanted to stay home and zone out. A doctor in residency has nothing on an engineering major as far as number of hours worked.
Second, I started college at age 25 after doing an enlistment in the Navy. I was a cracked old man to them. The girls were plenty cute but mentally, nothing lined up. In their heads, they were still kids. A person who successfully got through the Navy’s Nuclear Power training pipeline, has been to a dozen countries, deployed, and served in the Persian Gulf War has nothing in common with a little be-bop queen who’s biggest worry is what kind of car daddy is going to buy her.
Third, there’s only two kind of girls that went to that school. You’ve got the liberal treehugger partiers and the mormon girls. Not wanting to hang out with liberal treehuggers is obvious. No mormon chick is going to even look in the direction of a guy that hasn’t been on a mission. I’m not trying to crack mormons but I wasn’t interested in becoming one, so the girls didn’t even look in my direction (which is fine) and 98% of the guys are arrogant asses. Nothing there for me. With that in mind, I’m sure it’s no surprise that I hung by myself 98% of the time. The religious discrimination was a significant challenge but there’s no way I was going to let them run me off. I stayed like a bad head-cold that you just can’t shake and graduated in a major that had an attrition rate of about 80%. It was a lot like Navy nuke school.
Sorry for the loss, and prayers to his family. I wonder if the said what the cause of death was. I hope it was natural causes and not an overdose...
No. Since the 1990's, top-tier universities began pushing "unisex" dorms, with males and females on the same floors and sharing the same bathrooms. Smaller colleges began following suit. These days, it is mainly the strictly religious campuses that still separate housing for the two sexes. And the latest trend with segregation on campus is "persons of color" demanding separate dorms from whites. Full circle there.
But of course, with gender now being mulitiplied and biological sex erased from the minds of our highly educated betters, I don't see a re-emergence of sex-segregated dorms again any time soon.
While at University an instructor told our class if we missed 3 classes it was an automatic Failure of the class. Did not matter if you were carrying an A average; third missed class sunk it all. He terrified everyone.
Wow. If I went into a class and the prof had that on his syllabus, I’d drop it in a heartbeat unless it was a class that you had to have for your major and he’s the only one that ever teaches it (which is usually the case for nutjobs like this). It can’t be absolute, though. If a family member dies, you have the right to attend the funeral. Also, if you’re sick. That’s written into the law. Of course, fighting a prof (especially as an undergrad) carries some serious peril and who’s going to litigate it if the administration won’t put him in line. The only thing you can really do is avoid him like the plague if you can.
My son had to move from his dorm roommate. The guy never showered. My son was sick for a few months and finally told the school. They moved him out.
Moved my son to another dorm room.
Daily? That’s called helicopter parenting.
