Students discuss new library hours
September 12, 2008
“If I’m typing downstairs and have to go upstairs to look at a book for two hours, if deadline is midnight, I’d feel more rushed.â€
Nick Stewart, English freshman
“Maybe at the beginning of the year it could close at 2 a.m., but 24 hours during the latter part of the year would be beneficial for students.â€
Phil Mosley, pre-law sophomore
“The library offers a better learning atmosphere. Dare I say it may damage my academic career?â€
Tessa Meek, undecided freshman
“I don’t think it’s beneficial because a lot of students need a place to study late at night, especially on-campus students.â€
Sarah Ison, equine science and management sophomore
“I don’t like working in my room. I’d have to work in my basement, which is creepy.â€
Megan Miller, pre-pharmacy freshman
“Non-freshman have roommates and need somewhere to go. It’s funny how we can afford to give President Todd a $100,000 bonus, but we can’t afford to keep the library open.â€
John Witt, computer engineering senior
“It doesn’t bother me because I’m usually asleep by 2 a.m.â€
Dan Spaulding, pre-physical therapy sophomore
“I’m in ROTC and have to wake up early, so for no reason would I ever be in the library at two in the morning.â€
Anthony Gibson, undecided freshman
“It will hurt the people who want to study all night before an exam. The library is a great resource, and they’ll lose that.â€
Adam Powers, physical therapy sophomore
“I don’t think it’s fair because a lot of students don’t have a place to study. If you have a roommate sleeping, you won’t be able to have the lights on to study.â€
Chelsea Cuntz, merchandising, apparel and textiles sophomore
