Sammy: Do you really believe that a teenage boy living in an OOT dorm with no parental supervision is immune from “worldly distractions”?? Most bochurim today can run circles around the so called “mashgiach ruchani” or dorm counselors who are supposed to be providing real-time supervision. It really depends on the bochur and how much” independence” they can handle.
