    In Tiffany’s case, I don’t know if that would be a good idea or not. She isn’t the best student, and the dorm has many distractions.

    Gee.

    Looks like there’s a 50-50 chance We may still have an on-campus setting after all.

    But.

    Has Tiffany forgotten that she has friends Off campus too?

    Friends that have come to her aid on more than one occasion?

    And that with the possible exception of Dez, Viper, and Hair, the “friends” she made on campus at Hall A were the unobtainable Kip the Q-B and that Ditzy Stef.

    And that one of the first things they did, was to compel Tiff to betray her friend R.A. Bernice. Plus make Tiff the “lookout” for the “Black Out” party, as opposed to actually attending the party.

    Look, there’s nothing wrong with living on-campus, though it is a bit wasteful money-wise.

    But Tiff should seriously consider making a new group of on-campus friends while holding her long-time off-campus friends close.

    And returning to a private “Stef-Free” room.

    It seems to me that this doesn’t need to be an either or situation.It isn’t like her home is in another city. She could have the dorm room and stay there as long as she liked (and with money flowing back in even choose the “size”) and make trips back home as she wants.

    I really hope Tiffany will return to the dorms. She need to be with people for forget her father and to really change herself. For the best or for the worst. She needs to have around people like Stefi, Hair, Viper and expecially Dez. Now that Bernice lives with the Degroots she could become Dez’s new roommate!!! Being constantly under her positive influence would be so good for her♡.

    The fact she has to think about it at ALL is an improvement. They’re still, what, 19 and 20 (time moves extra slow for the Luann strips). Still a lot of growing up to do, but plenty of time to figure out who and what they are.

    Has she resolved her “financial” issues? Is that not what caused her to move out of the dorms in the first place (i.e. father wasn’t going to pay for on-campus housing)? Or is he now willing to pay for it?

    I lived at home and commuted to college each day. Most all colleges have a student union, cafeteria, etc. where groups of on- and off-campus students can meet/associate/study. My Aerospace College had what was called “day hop” room. A combo cafeteria, recreation and meeting room for lunch and long between-class periods.

    All Tiffany needs to do is look at what she defines as fun. Broaden her horizons. Is being there talking to Dez a good time?

    Living on campus is proven to keep you thinking about college, hence all the late night study areas (prior to Covid at least) .

    Also since most wealthy large houses tend to be isolated in purposely hard to get to neighborhoods, friends coming over routinely isn’t going to happen.

    Well this is typical for the Dez character. She makes this an either/or choice instead of trying to help Tiffany enjoy both aspects of going to college. Tiffany has a right to enjoy her nice home. She could live there and find a way to promote more of a social life, although she is the type that would let the social life effect her grades. Dez always jumps at the chance to put down a lifestyle that doesn’t match her own personal mantra.

    In today’s strip, Tiffany reminds me of Jack Benny in the “Your money or your life” skit. In that scene, Jack was walking down the street when a man approached him, pulled out a gun, and said, “Your money or your life!” There is then a long pause. “Hey, I said, your money or your life!” To which Jack replied, “I’m thinking it over!”

    Given her past experience with the dorms, I can understand her dilemma. It was fine at first, when she had her own room. But, thanks to You-Know-Who, she had to deal with a rather pushy roommate. Not to mention having to lie to Bernice about all those parties which were distracting her from her studies.

    She wasn’t getting A’s at the dorm, was she?
