Misconceptions of the Seminary

I touched on this on Facebook, but I can get into more depth here.

I'm in a seminary, not a monastery.  We have no fences. 
The only walls we have keep our roof up.

I can have visitors, in fact I have had several in the last few weeks.
I can come and go most days without any problems.  We are encouraged to get out of the building on a regular basis.
I do have certain mandatory attendance events that limit my availability.
It is best to think of it as graduate school, you'll have a pretty good feel for it.

(Rereading this section, it sounds desperate. It is not, just factual)
>Care packages are allowed (hint hint).
>Your cards and letters are most welcome and read again and again.
>Your phone calls are anticipated with joy.
>Lunch and Dinner invitations are the highlight of my week.
