Restrictions on Visitors
I haven't even been at BYU for a week, and already I have noticed what a pain the restrictions are for visitors in on-campus housing. For instance, I live in WyView, and visitors from out of town are only allowed to stay for a maximum of 3 nights. I have a couple friends from Texas who want to come visit me this summer, and the drive is a very long and expensive one. If they are going to take the time to come out here, I want them to be able to stay for more than a mere 3 days. Also, I think it is very extreme to say only one guest is permitted per apartment. I can understand how 4 or 5 may be a concern, but any less than that should not be an issue. Particulary in my situation, because there is only one other girl living with me, and therefore there is plenty of extra room. I do agree that visitors should have to fill out a form with the signatures of all the roomates. But as long as all the roomates are in agreement, the issues of "how many" and "how long" should not be monitored by the university. We are college students now, and I think that we should be given more agency to make our own descisions, as long as we are following the honor code.
