Okay, I seem to have created some confusion with my first article.  When I
said "student social centers", I didn't know if you are all familiar with
the term "student union".  To clarify, is there an official place on campus
where you can have fun?  Or do you go off campus to have fun?  I've gotten
a few replies telling me that most students commute to uni, and almost 100%
live in the cities.  I've also gotten a letter saying that student
political parties were at some unis.  We don't have student parties at my
uni, but I think that some American and Canadian unis do (including the Uni
of Maryland, U.S.A.)
To add to my first article, I have these questions:

What is being done about sexual discrimination?
What is being done to increase personal and campus safety?
If any of you are involved in student political parties, please tell me
about them.

At my uni, the administration FINALLY started an escort service after
muddling around for years.  It's a two-person system; one man and one
woman, who keep in contact with headquarters through hand-held
radios/walkie-talkies, from 1600 to 0200 hours, seven days a week.

Oh, one more thing.  How does your uni deal with transfer students?
Unfortunately, my uni treats them like dog food; the idea being that if
they weren't smart enough to get in as freshmen, they can't be that smart
(which is a bunch of garbage).  Thanks to everybody whose replied so far,
and I'm really looking forward to more letters.  Bye!
