I liked this episode, except for the fact Mike never told Sue about Triple A (AAA). If she has car trouble, she can call them for help and they will come for her. I don't have AAA but I heard good things about them from a lady I worked with a long time ago. As for learning to change a tire and doing other things like laundry and writing a check, a person can learn that stuff from on-line websites and seeing Sue struggle with the tire was funny but sad at the same time because no one was helping her! I do think the writers should soften Mike up a bit because the stoicism makes it seem like he doesn't care about anybody! I really like Sue but sometimes Mike's attitude rubs me the wrong way. I know Sue will be fine when she finds her footing and niche and all!

Sue Sue Heck is Kickin' It College Style
rcade-124 September 2015
Warning: Spoilers
There weren't a lot of big laughs in this episode, but I loved that Sue Heck had her dorm room completely decorated with positive- thinking posters before her new roommate even walked in the door.
If there's even an ounce of cynicism in that roommate, who we didn't meet in this episode, the prospect of looking at the posters "No Negative Thoughts Allowed," "I Can and I Will" and an entire "Motivation Wall" all semester long may drive the girl to drugs.
Sue's Jan Brady-like middle child meltdown was amusing. Even when Sue is mad, Eden Sher manages to make her seem like the nicest child in sitcom history.
Charlie McDermott (Axl) had a lead role on the CBS pilot Super Clyde this season and would've left The Middle if the network had ordered the series. I don't think this show works without Axl, especially now that Sue has joined him at East Indiana State.
I won't spoil the best joke, which involved Frankie and Mike sitting on the couch at home after Sue was moved in.
