When we learned that our daughter was getting into a sorority house, we were concerned.
My wife told me horror stories of the time when she did the same thing, and she said they went through hell, but it was worth it in the end.
She said that she was able to gain a great deal of respect and college was some of the best years of her life, but she did do some wild things. Our daughter, we figured, could get in some trouble because she hated small things like not being comfortable with enough air conditioning. One of the first things we learned was that she had to be trapped in a closet for the night without any air conditioning and we thought that sounded terrible. She said it was hard to get through things like that, but she said it all was going to be worth it for her. She had a miserable year, but when she came back the following year, she had all the respect in the world and she said she had never been happier in her life. She was even provided with the best HVAC equipment that was smart so she could adjust the temperature control settings with her smartphone. I thought all that sounded wonderful as we never owned a smart HVAC system before. I am considering getting a smart thermostat though after hearing so many good things, especially from our daughter. We are proud of her and hope she continues to do well in school. I’m sure she won’t have too many problems though.
