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. From leaving a house with rules about privacy to going to a college with living rules isn’t ideal to any college student. Everyone wants to be treated like an adult. You go to college not just to learn but to get the tools you need in order to do well in the real world. “ I came to school to get away from having rules and to do what I want to do, not for someone to tell me how to live, last time I checked I was grown.” Says a TJC student. Many students feel like they can’t be trusted to handle their academic responsibilities and ultimately every young adult wants to be treated like they are an adult.
The Term Paper on Stress In College Students
College students all stress out about one situation/life generality or another. Some of these situations/life generalities are individuation, computer anxiety, ethnic and gender roles in student-athletes, and mathematics anxiety. There have been many studies looking at stress in college students. At one time or another, college students are forced to deal with a stressful situation. Stress, in ...
Stephen F. Austin has somewhat strict rules. In halls such as Kerr and Griffith curfew hours are strict. You can’t have men in your room after twelve o’clock not only that but the rooms are small you can’t do that much in those rooms with them being so small. In my eyes there is just room to go to sleep and change clothes. With that being said the women that are in Kerr and Griffith are adults. They should be able to do whatever they want. I’m pretty positive that majority of the women in their dorm have boyfriends and would like to spend time with them in the comfort of their room. The dorm such as Mays which is a boy’s dorm is similar to the rules like Kerr and Griffith. They can’t have girls in their dorm after twelve o’clock either. And with that being said it seems like colleges trying to run your life. Everyone says once you get in college you’re supposed to get in the real world and make real world decisions so why not let the students make adult decisions about when there company can leave. Dorms such as The Village and The Lodge get to have the freedom of like having an apartment. “I love staying in the village not only do I have a full size bed, I have my own room. I can’t be mad or complain.” Says an SFA student. They have the luxury of not only the space in our rooms but the freedom to have visitors in our room and we definitely don’t have a curfew. Adults don’t like being treated like their kids. They want the right to make mistakes and learn from them. If that means having a friend in your room until six in the morning and they have a test at 8:30 so be it. Having dorms suck as The Village gives students the right to be themselves.
The Essay on 16 Personality Factors And College Students

In general, it provides normed references to each of these attributes (the primary scales). Conceptualized and initially developed by Raymond B. Cattell in 1949 as a broad, multipurpose measure of the source ...
Looking at both of these scenarios, anyone who reads this will see how strict dorms really can be. When you are growing up through high school your parents tell you, “Wait till you are in college you will be able to do whatever it is that you want!” Now that we are in college we see that our parents have lied to us and told us exactly what we wanted to hear so that we would obey their rules. If the students in America would like to get the rules changed at the College they attend, they should all join together and talk to the Universities school board about how they would like to be treated like adults. They should address how they are unhappy under the circumstances they are living in. Most college students would agree that if they had freedom and reasonable rules then their grades would be better along with much comfortable living style.
