Many restaurants around college towns hide their condiments and plasticware during the time students are checking into their dorms, because they’re known to clean out the racks in order to stock their dorm rooms.
Yes, the college students all forget to bring silverware and things with them. At the end of the year they leave that and so much more in their rooms. There was a cleaner at a university in Boston who always volunteered for overtime at the end of the school year. The kids left radios, hair dryers, televisions, other things you can’t imagine. He cleaned up. Also, at year’s end people in apartments leave 1 and 2 year old furniture at the curb. It’s too expensive to ship home.
Many years ago, when our government arranged to remove the Shah of Iran, and again after 9/11 many students left their apartments and cars to return immediately to their home country.
