Describe the dorm life at your college.
as a parent, when looking at schools that were "away" from long island - it seemed that a lot of kids left campus on the weekends. at saint bonaventure they come home 2 times before christmas and then in the spring there are 2 visits home before the end of spring semester.
kids do better when living on campus.
