I also remember the response of a priest at the school she ended up at, when I asked for any advice he might have for her...he paused and said simply..."Choose your friends wisely"...she did...e.g. in the first week, she and her roommate had the option of attending all the parties going on, or...study for the "passing exams" that would allow them to not have to take certain classes...they chose the latter (but still found time to 'party hearty').
