Need college suggestions!

I would ask that he consider getting an apartment right beside the school instead of a dorm.
Benefits include nobody asking questions when you bring girls home at any hour of the night and the cost is lower than a dorm if you have a roommate. I honestly don't know why anyone would want to live in a dorm where you don't get to choose your rommate and you have to share a small space with them. If these dorms were apartments nobody in their right mind would ever pay to live there, but since its part of the college experience, people think they have to do it.
I have been in dorms a few times and its really not cool. People act like children and make noise at all times of the day so its hard to study.
Its like living in the army barracks. I know because my friend was in the 82nd airborne and also lived in the dorms for his first semester of college.
Every time I spoke with him on the phone at the barracks I could barely hear him because people were hollering, cursing, coming in and out of rooms etc. As a quiet person I could never live in that environment.

Make sure he gets to see the dorms for real before choosing to live that way. He should make friends at the local state school and spend a little time in the dorms to see what I'm talking about.

Tisk tisk, you didn't see that I'm not going there lol. Besides, I lived in dorms for 2 years in New York, I'm not ignorant to all that goes on. :p
