Dorm Life

DORM LIFE
In today’s society, Junior Colleges and Universities all have a student dorm life. The only difference is that each campus has different rules and procedures.   For instance, Tyler Junior College up in Tyler, Texas has co-ed dorms with visitation rules to where girls cannot be in a guy’s room unless it is between the hours of eight o’ clock to eleven thirty pm or a guy cannot be in a girl’s room unless it’s during these hours. Unlike here at Stephen F. Austin University, all of the co-ed dorm halls are allowed to have any guy or girl in their dorm room at any time. Visitation rules can cause a big up roar between the students and school board. Students do not understand why college boards make these rules and they see it as a big problem in their eyes. Throughout this paper I will talk about how some rules in the dorms can be a problem on major campuses and universities and also how they can solve this problem.
Tyler Junior College has a strict rule on visitation. Sunday through Saturday nobody can be in any of the rooms for any reason unless they come between the hours of visitation. I have a friend who goes to school there and he continues to complain about how he cannot have any friends in his room to do homework, play video games, watch TV or anything that a normal young adult likes to do. Also down at TJC, you cannot visit the dorm rooms unless you are a student at TJC. Another thing they cannot do is change the temperature on the thermostat due to not having one in their rooms. The only person who can control the temperature is the RD (Room Director) and my friend also complains how hot his room is all the time. From what it seems like everybody who goes to TJC complains about how horrible it is to live on campus. Campus life should be fun and exciting with rules, but reasonable rules. That isn’t the least of his problems. The rooms are very small like a little box. You could lie down in your bed and touch your roommate. There isn’t any privacy....
