Joe will be bummed he isn't going to the freshman campus but I love Bumpus! Sad that the freshman will be on the senior campus. I just loved that they had the year away from the older kids and it gave them time to adjust to high school and to all the people from Simmons. At least Kate and Jack will be at the same school for a year. That is nice. And, Joe will be there when Jack is a senior and Joe will get to have two years at the freshman campus which isn't the freshman campus anymore but you  know what I mean. :)
