Same at my young son's university. They looked out for each other, if somebody didn't show they'd check in back in the dorm, see if everything was all right.

Probably different at a state school, where kids are marking time until the job market. This was a private school in a small town upstate. Kids had a sense of purpose.

The university my kids went to was very much like this, but it's a state school. It is, however, run very much like a private school in that it can make its own decisions and it is allowed to charge a lot more in tuition.
