ALTHOUGH STUDENTS CLAIMED LIVING WITH THEIR PARENTS WHILE GOING TO SCHOOL OFTEN RESTRICTED THEIR FREEDOM, THE PRICE WAS RIGHT ♦ What would be easier than living in a comfortable rent-free home, with a laun¬ dry service and a fully stocked cafeteria? For many students in the Fayetteville area, there was no place like home — their parent ' s home that is. These students, with families living within driving distance of the University, said a nicer (or more affordable) place to live while attending college couldn ' t be found. University policy required all freshmen under 21 to live with their parents, a spouse, in a Greek house or in a residence hall on campus. Officials said the policy was directed at making the transition to college as smooth as possible. Students said they lived at home and commu ted to campus because the expense was lower and they had fewer household responsibilities; therefore, leaving more time for school and community activities. Money. That ' s the reason why I ' m living at home. It ' s different from living on campus, because I have my own room—a quiet place to study. ♦ ROBYN BENSON, senior It is a lot easier to save money. I can study better without a lot of the distractions. I would (stay at home) if I lived in Fayetteville. ♦ JOHN COLEMAN, senior I am grateful that my children stayed at home for college. The reason is because we are family- oriented and we enjoy doing things with our children ♦ JERRI FORD, mother I like living at home because I have more time to study rather than being with my friends, then I would always want to go running around. ♦ JANETTE HENSON, freshman 28 Living at Home

COMFORTS of home There’s nothing like mom’s homestyle cooking, but along with the home cooking came household chores. Becky Sorrells, junior, tried living in an apart¬ ment for a while, but soon learned that she couldn’t cook. “I really got sick of eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for every meal,” she said. R. LUTTRELL PHOTO ♦ RUBBA DUB DUB. Susan Callison, whose nightly chore is to wash the dishes, said living at home had its good and bad points. “It’s nice because I don’t have to pay rent, but sometimes I feel like I don’t have as much freedom as my friends do that live on their own,” Callison said. R. LUTTRELL PHOTO a ♦ STUDENT’S BEST FRIEND. Due to the high cost of living, many area students were forced to live at home with mom and dad. “The rent is cheaper than any other place I could find, plus the food is not bad and I get to keep my dog without having to pay a fee,” junior Keith Sigler said while playing with his dog in the front yard.
