Her parents had kept their thumb on her at home and she was religious- just went crazy at college.
It's been reported that boys in college find that girls who have been raised "religiously" at home are the ones who will "go wild" in college, once they get somewhat removed from some of those restrictions that they were under, while at home in a closely-watched situation. In a university setting, even with a commuter college, you are not as closely watched as you would be at home and in high school.
Whether in the context of a "commuter college" or living on campus -- it would be approximately the same thing, because of many of the other students maintaining living quarters either on campus anyway (even with that commuter college) and having a lot of surrounding apartments right around the commuter college for university students, and one associating with those students who would be living right there, too.
There are lots of things that one does at the university, like lab course, gaps between classes and study time in the libary and study groups with other students, while still on campus).
You don’t really know what you’re talking about. As a homeschooler who started community college classes at 15, whose homeschool community did the same sort of thing - nobody went crazy, nobody’s teenage daughter started sleeping around. Parental supervision is entirely possible at community college.
Ok, so by the end of my time there, when I was almost 18, I did fall in with a different crowd and started watching anime and playing Dungeons and Dragons but that’s hardly the same thing...
