		All University of Mississippi campuses are recommended for pregnant students, for parenting students, for teenage mothers, for single mothers and single fathers because of the reasonable tuition, family housing and child care centers on campus. Still there is much work to do: join the single mother support groups on campus or start one and organize for more reasonable child care on these college campuses. ----Katherine Arnoldi, author, The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom
