Final essays for my classes are due next Tuesday. So, yeah, the GOTV people waited until the very end. It's strange they waited so long. They were at the college last Thursday, this Monday and Tuesday (we have a Tuesday/Thursday or Monday/Wednesday system, so no Friday classes). They were missing today.

This is a community college, so they live at home. We have a diverse age range, too, so a lot of my students have their own permanent residences. Even if they transfer to another college (which a lot do after two years), the colleges they transfer to are still in the area. They don't move a lot.
