Homeward Bound

Recently when speaking with freshman resident student Marissa Surma she mentioned the one thing she didn't like about Dominican so far, is how everyone goes home on the weekend. I understand exactly what she means, as I witness the parking lot empty out weekend after weekend. Does the social life just turn everyone away? Or is home just a comfort zone that everyone likes to resort to on the weekends?

As an out-of-state student on campus, I found this issue especially frustrating my freshmen year at Dominican. My roommate at the time went home every single weekend.

Because I am usually here on the weekends, I met a lot of other out-of-state students that were also stuck(?) on campus and we really bonded with one another.

Still, isn't there anything Dominican can do to keep residents here on weekends? Maybe, maybe not
