I'm still trying to figure out what upperclassman hijinx led to this rule:Freshmen may request a roommate. Other students are allowed one request for a friend to be in their prayer group, on their hall, or in their residence hall, but not in their room.So if you're a sophomore or higher, you're stuck with whoever they give you? How does that make sense? Freshmen may request a roommate.

Just. Wow. I have serious problems with many parents who send their kids off to college and then expect summer-camp-like supervision: "My child heard a racial slur the other day. My child is getting poor grades because the professor isn't supervising her work. I heard there was a robbery, is my child safe?" I want to take these parents and shake them and tell them their kids are 18 for gods sake - they can die for our country, they can vote, I think they can decide whether or not they want to stay up past 12am! In short, I'm glad there's a place like Bob Jones University - one less annoying family I'll have to deal with at my university. except...these are the people leading our country...oh dear god
