Dimondale, Mich. — Before move-in day in East Lansing, Aaron Henry’s relationship with his classmates was mostly on the phone as the only out-of-state member of the incoming Michigan State freshman class.
But now, during sacred freshmen bonding movie time: No phones allowed.
“‘Zero dark thirty,’ we put our phones down,” Henry, of Indianapolis, said of the darkness policy during movie nights. “Nothing but the movie, no lights, no phones, just the TV screen.
“Just being around each other is fun. That’s how we build relationships and, hopefully, we keep doing that.”
