No, in a group of friends, there is always at least one friend who has a car. There are also work-study opportunities. Also the campus nurse has a cell phone where she may be reached during off-campus hours. An advisor is assigned to each student. The advisor will help each student pick out classes for their yearly schedule.
Advisors meet with their advisees monthly on the first day of each class.
Drinking is not allowed. If a student is caught drinking on campus, there are consequences. I hear Tusculum is a suitcase college that everybody leaves on the weekends. Therefore, it is very difficult for them to go home every weekend. However, there are some students who do go home weekends and block breaks.
