Wow this thread has snowballed! What can I expect, I knew what I was getting into posting it on here...
To clarify, I am very positive my daughter doesn't do drugs and she is a good student. And I'm quite sure she would not be friends with a drug user either. He did not run for the team because he is doing a hard major and also has a job. This is also a fairly selective university (if US news rankings are anything to go by, it ranks in the top 40 or top 30), so I'm sure he was a good student in high school as well.
I doubt anything will "happen", I am sure they are sleeping in separate rooms, but it still is a bit uncomfortable to know that she is staying with him. I would have preferred a female friend (but she did not have any female friends who are there right now).
What's so bad about anything happening? She's old enough to make her own decisions and off to College. You might not like it but that's where things happen. Well not for me. I'm a geeky male runner. But for others it is. Also you said the guy was a runner? Your daughter probably isn't attracted to him if that's the case. This means you have nothing to worry about.
