Years ago, my brother got kicked out of Bob Jones Academy for running a gambling casino in his dorm room. ... He just moved on to Eastern Mennonite Academy — where he was promptly kicked out for running a gambling casino in his dorm room ...

Did he consider going to UNLV? If it is like everywhere else in Las Vegas I would suspect they have slot machines in the dorm rooms.

One reason why college is so expensive is that we expect they provide everything from an education to a social life to surrogate parenting for the students. Just teach the classes and treat the students like adult customers instead of children needing to be molded. I would bristle at a place like Bob Jones, not because they are so much against what I believe but rather I would hate their presumption that they should have the power to tell me how to live just because I am paying them to take some classes there.

Agreed. Why does an 18yo, old enough to go to war, need supervision in how they run their lives? This isn’t high school.
