Off Campus Housing
Many students choose to live off-campus for a variety of reasons such as more space, wanting more freedom, or financial reasons. Regardless of the reason, living off-campus means that your child is completely independent and unsupervised. Talk to your child about the legal consequences of underage and excessive drinking that exist while living off-campus. There are a variety of legal problems that can arise including underage alcohol citations, providing alcohol to minors, noise complaints, property damage, and eviction.
Some schools have a policy that extends the Code of Conduct to off-campus environments.
