COLLEGES OPENING NEXT WEEK
Many of the Colleges are reopening their doors this and next week. It would be advisable to drive with more caution as students from out of town complete moving into their dorms, and in general do not know where they are going once they leave campus. With registration, getting books, financial aid headaches, a new landlord and related problems for students they may not be completely focused on driving, so a defensive driving status may be best near the colleges over the next two weeks.
