Mike Schieding's girlfriend got pregnant during junior year [of high school]. If he hadn't found out about Endicott College's campus residential program for single parents, he figures he never would've been able to manage a job, an education and full custody of his son Skyler.
Obviously, he's the only dad in the program. Also obviously, he says his fellow freshman are not that into getting to know the guy with the kid, since he probably can't ever go anywhere that doesn't have a playground attached.
