As classes begin at colleges and universities across the nation, numerous college students are presented with an unfamiliar situation of living away from home. Although many enjoy this newfound freedom, the lack of parental supervision also creates additional responsibilities: getting to class on time, completing homework and assignments, learning to live and work with others, paying bills, and budgeting money. By enrolling students that come from varied experiences and backgrounds, universities create an environment where students learn to live and function as responsible, sociallyconscious individuals. Furthermore, learning these personal responsibility skills provides college students with the opportunity to become productive and successful members of society.
