"I think all universities have an obligation to their student body to provide services that will help them stay in school," said Finch. "It's not just an obligation, it's a wise decision as far as retention is concerned."

My son stayed in a 'substance free' dorm at Michigan. He didn't have a substance problem, but didn't want to be around people who smoked, were drunks or did drugs. His roommates were of a similar temperment.

Religious, decent but not religious, and some ROTC kids opted for spaces in these dorms to avoid the problems that kids can get into at the regular dorms.

Having gone to the same school in the 70s, I know what it's like to live w/several hundred drunk, dope smoking, 19 year olds. It ain't pretty.
