We've only rarely had truly involved renters, although we wish they would
be. In fact they often proclaim their great desire to be involved when they
sign the rental lease, and that's the last we see of them.

This is a college town and most renters are grad students who stay for one
year or occasionally longer, and they usually are totally involved with
their academics and the social life with their peers that goes along with
being a grad student. You can lead a renter to the Common House but you
can't make them eat there.
