  • Very well said, Ver. We are in the same situation at home. My mom has been taking care of my grandmother now for 6 years. Before my grandmother got sick she made my mom PROMISE her that she would not let her go to a nursing home.

• Universities changing freshman experience

  Sat Oct 3, 2009
  • I agree that organizations are a great way to become involved, but what they are discussing here is not "freshman organizations" but rather grouping together freshman based on their interests, which in my opinion is a fantastic idea.
