Piedmont College Campus Life

Students under the age of 21 that do not live in the counties surrounding Piedmont are required to live on campus. They are also required to pay for Piedmont's meal plan and also must adhere to Piedmont's no tobacco and no alcohol policies. Is this right? That is the question many students are always asking themselves and other students. In my opinion no it isn't, but if things were different it wouldn't change my life. I would still live here on campus and live by the rules of the college, probably still complaining about the rules.
I personally believe that students should have the choice of where they live, but around Piedmont there aren't that many off campus places to live. So if students don't sign up to live on campus there is no guarantee that they would have a place to live. Maybe Piedmont is doing us a favor. No one seems to be looking at this situation that way. Even if Piedmont is doing us a favor, why must we pay for the meal plan? This semester the dining hall has made some changes and has been better, but should every student who lives on campus have to pay for it? I don't think so, students should have their own choice of what food they pay for. As far as the tobacco and alcohol policies I think the school has the right to make their own policies for students involving tobacco and alcohol. I don't think many people at this school have much of a right to complain about school policies because they chose to come to this school knowing the policies before hand.
