I have a friend that has a college dilemma. She is also a member of DIMs and is an SSBBW. She is about to start a music industry-related class. Orientation is next week and she has already moved all her stuff up to her new apartment ready. However, she has now discovered that the college requires all freshmen to take part in various 'physical activities' including canoeing and an 8 mile hike. Not something to look forward to as an SSBBW. These are supposedly to keep freshmen 'active' and 'reduce drop-out rates'. She has been told that if she does not take part in these 'activities' that she will not be allowed to stay at the college. She was not made aware of these activities at any point during the application/interview process and has told me that had she known about them she may have looked elsewhere. I was shocked when I heard about this as clearly for an SSBBW these 'activities' are potentially stressful and/or embarrassing situations especially when trying to make friends amongst strangers. She has told me that she has tried talking to the college about it and is getting nowhere.

So. I am posting on the boards to canvass for creative suggestions as to what action to take. I don't think it's fair that she have to do these crazy activities that have nothing whatsoever to do with her course. I'm basically hoping for someone legally savy who could suggest a course of action to take. Thanks in advance.
