Are the days of choosing a dorm solely based on its proximity to frat row over?
Earlier this month was the deadline for incoming freshmen to sign up to live in one of Florida Atlantic University's "Living Learning Communities," the goal being to group students according to their interests and class load, making things like tutoring and study groups easier.
This year, about 160 students are signed up for the nine LLCs are planned and include such groups as foreign languages, nursing and pre-med. Predictably, some communities were more popular choices than others.
The big winners: Business and Engineering, which are both at capacity.
The big loser: the drug and alcohol-free community, which was, not surprisingly, discontinued due to lack of interest.
Some communities still have vacancies left: social justice, "green" and peace (now students know where to score their weed).
Our favorite, though, is the "undecided" community.
Otherwise known as the campus bar.
