There's too many weirdos on campus. LOL welcome to the NE buddy, They are everywhere and typically celebrated on campus!

That could be 80% of the freshman at 80% of the schools. It's a universal reaction to being away from home and being in a dorm at college.
If that's not your experience, you're lucky.

It seems to me your son is pretty normal, the good news is they grow up, learn to deal with things and get an apartment next year! Probable biggest learning curve outside baseball is figuring out what crazy professors want to hear and telling them them that! Honesty wont help you get the grade just play the game.
