Took my 17 year old to see a residential college. Her questions were not mine.

My questions: faculty, study hours, what happens when a student falls behind. Her questions: does the mess make Maggi at night, how strong is the wifi in the hostel block, and can she bring her own mattress. She asked the wifi one twice.

    At least she's being practical. Mine at 13 would only want to know if she could bring her own pillow.

      the pillow question is legitimate. according to every cousin who's done hostel, the pillows are bricks

      Replying to @pebble_quilt_6246

      Pillow has now been added to her list, under mattress. Thanks for that.

    Food and wifi decide whether she's calling you upset in week three. She's asking the right questions. Leave the faculty ones to you.
