What's Your One Request of the Returning College Kids?

Moving Day is upon us. If you could get the returning college students to change one thing about how they act and interact, what would it be?

That low, steady hum you hear in the distance is dozens of U-Haul and Ryder trucks descending on Newton. Saturday is moving day, when thousands of college kids return and move into their new apartments. 

While started school earlier this week, and will begin classes after the Labor Day weekend.

If you had the chance to change one thing the college kids do in your neighborhood, what would it be? Would you rather they tone down the parties after 2 a.m.? Or are we being too hard on the students, who bring a lot of spending power to local businesses and hungry parents to neighborhood restaurants?
