    I would encourage you to let your son do it. Dorms can be an enlightening experience for the new college student. It's sheltered enough that your son is not out on his own thrown to the wolves, as it were, but a free enough environment to begin teaching him some adult responsibility with the rules and regulations of dorms, not to mention getting along with other people in a close environment. He will learn more about respecting other people, their space, and their things from his roommate than any other person. There are a host of other things he will learn, and he may get into trouble, but he will also learn that his actions have consequences, and he will have to pay for them. If your son does not have a good grasp of this in your home and is creating trouble for you, hence the question, what is wrong with affording your son the opportunity to learn this lesson in the dorms?
