That's ridiculous...
Was it a private school? Religious school? I went to a public high school in tobacco country (Northeastern Kentucky) so this seems totally foreign to me.
I have an issue with insitutions of learning that interfere with a students personal behaviour outside of instructional hours. That's why I chose a university with lax rules about where students live, how they live, etc. I'm not going to be required to live in a dorm...that's bullshit. I'm going to smoke if I want to. I'm going to drink if I want to. How can we ever expect people to responsibly handle freedom if we bar them from it and keep them in a state of prolonged adolescence?
