Abstract
This paper examines the expenses and social benefits of living on campus: Renting an apartment, staying in the dorms and buying a home. The author recommends living in the dorms for the first year because it gives students a chance to get to know schoolmates. It suggests that the following year a place can be rented off-campus with friends. The paper includes comparison tables of expenses.
From the Paper
"The first option is for Sarah to live in the dorms. This is the most hassle free thing to do, it will give her a chance to meet new people with whom she might want to live with next semester or next year. Meals on campus are $875 a semester for 18 meals a week and 950 for 21 meals a week. I'd suggest you go with the previous meal plan; I must have made it to breakfast maybe five times, maximum, my freshman year of college!"

Abstract
This paper explains that criminal acts, which reflect the surrounding society such as assaults, murders, robberies and vandalism, have increased markedly on campuses. Therefore, schools are struggling with whether to continue the policy promoting gun-free schools, which also means that the campus police do not have guns. The author points out that the campus community cannot be so naive as to believe that campus policemen who do not carry handguns can help prevent or crime or protect innocent people; towns people would not want their police not to carry handguns. The paper stresses that campus crimes will not decline if all police officers begin carrying handguns, but the crime rate most assuredly will not decline if they don't either.
From the Paper
"An armed police officer strolling through a college library may at first grip some students with fear, but it is also a comfort and a source of security to know that your safety is someone else's concern as well. Colleges are places of learning and culture because society has cultivated that image. This same image can be torn away through the fear of crime, which has no counterbalance. A college's survival depends on enrollment. If students fear they are not or cannot be protected, it is almost assured enrollment will drop, which will have a cascading effect on every aspect of the college from where students choose to attend to who receives research grants."

Abstract
The paper uses sociological perspectives to identify whether sub-cultures on a university campus demonstrate norms that vary from the "dominant" culture on campus. The paper studies the students as a whole and the population of Asian students on campus, a sub-classification of students that includes all students of Asian decent.
Outline:
Purpose
Analysis
What Are the Distinctive Norms of this Group?
From the Paper
"To identify a sub-type or the normative type or class on campus, one must first apply the sociological concept of "culture" and "society" (Shostak, 1971; Andersen & Taylor, 2006). In this case "culture" refers to the behavioral patterns and experiences one endures on campus (Shostak, 1971). One may consider the students attending the campus the "society" the researcher attempts to explore, in this case the society explored includes the students as a whole and the population of Asian students on campus, a sub-classification of students that includes all students of Asian decent."

Abstract
This paper looks at the sociological concept of group dynamics. It claims that many theories have been written about the topic, but the best way to experience this phenomena is to watch students on campus. This paper is the personal account and observations of a student studying group dynamics.
From the paper:
"Group dynamics is the term given to the scientific study of group behavior, and it is of crucial sociological importance if we wish to advance our knowledge and understanding of the nature of groups, their development and the relationships that exist within and between them. The majority of social scientists examine the concepts of group dynamics through the collation of empirical research and the development of scientific theories. This paper, however, will focus on the application of these theories and issues in relation to specific aspects of everyday life on campus."

Abstract
This paper offers a critique of an editorial that argues a university policy of permitting guns on campus but prohibiting alcohol should be reversed to improve quality of life. Aspects of the editorial's argument are critiqued.
From the Paper

Abstract
The first part of this paper examines arguments stating that hate speech deserves Constitutional protection. The next part then examines how hate speech hurts victims and destroys tolerance. In the conclusion, this paper argues that the First Amendment protects even hate speech. Thus, campus speech codes and other restrictions on freedom of expression violate the Constitution.
Contents
Hate speech is free speech
Hate speech should be restricted
Position: Hate Speech must be protected
References
From the Paper
"Throughout the history of this country, groups have fought to restrict unpopular and offensive speech. In the 1920s, for example, Margaret Sanger was jailed on obscenity charges after she distributed pamphlets on birth control. In the 1930s, efforts were made to ban representatives of Jehovah's Witnesses from excessive proselytizing. More recently, American citizens who questioned the Bush administration's "war on terror" campaign have been characterized as traitors."

Abstract
In "On Liberty," Mill proves to be a staunch supporter of free speech. The writer begins the paper by analyzing his views. Using his own views as a basis, the paper argues that he would support banning racist speech on campus. It points to the restrictions Mill is willing to place on free speech as proof, mainly the harm clause.
From the Paper
"In On Liberty, John Stuart Mill argues that no person or group of people, including the government, is ever justified in silencing someone's opinion. He begins by arguing that freedom of thought and freedom of speech are inseparable. After all, how meaningful is freedom of thought without freedom of speech? What good does it do us to be allowed freedom of thought while being denied the expression of that thought? Mill points out that by curbing freedom of speech, government would be taking something extremely important away from us. The government would be restricting not only our freedom of speech, but also our right to express our thoughts, and that's much more drastic."
