This has been going on since the dawn of time, with things like smoking. Of course the kid didn't write on his app that he smoked because the parent had to sign it...or the parent wrote the kid didn't smoke, thinking he didn't...of course he got to college and found himself w/ a roommate that hated smoke. It usually all got worked out, though - everyone understood what was going on. Same with parents requesting things like the 24 hour quiet dorm and the no visitation floor. Maybe some of those kids wanted to be there, but some definitely did NOT.
