We always went to Keene and my best friend's Mom is the Director of Admissions at Keene State College.

Customer service reps, school admissions people, the county/city zoning and planning office....and 'experts' that aren't as expert as they think.No is an easy way out and has a 'barney fife' appeal to some. 

If I put up a railing now, is that an admission of guilt?

With that in hand and your own admissions it looks to me like the landlord has a pretty clear cut case.

was reading a few of the articles on the collage admission scams a few of those caught are manning up and taking full responsibility others still in denial. 

You get to sit about 9' closer to the guests than general admission (no exaggeration) and the "VIP" dining area was a dirty roped off corner of the sub-standard cafeteria hall.

Figured their high prices were the cost of admission to this game.

Currently I work as an admissions counselor for an online school. 

You can start getting familiar with the college now, check the admission rates, student size, what students are renting etc..

It is in this context that we should see the freeze on judicial foreclosures - it is not so much an admission of guilt as an awareness that perfection is the minimum standard for unpopular groups in a democracy that is out of control.
