In freshman residence halls, there are policies that are currently in place that deal with visitation of the opposite sex. The current policy is no one of the opposite sex may be signed into the dorm after 2am. I feel that there should not be a limitation on when people of the opposite sex may be signed into the dorm. We are considered adults and should therefore be treated like adults. This limitation on when people are allowed to be signed into the dorm seems unnecessary and rediculous.
Playing Devil's Advocate
The University most likely has this policy in place because as first year students we are in a new place with new people who we might not know as well as we think. HAving the ability to sign someone in after 2am might not be in that person's best interest, especially if they had been out that night drinking or partying. They might have been convinced to come back to another's dorm and not really knowing what was going on. This could lead to someone being forced to do something that they would not otherwise do

Tacking on to the devil's advocate, or because that would encourage more partying. Think about it, you are much more likely to party with girls than with a room full of dudes. And just because you are 18, doesn't mean everyone here is an adult. Maybe if the student body's actions reflected the maturity of adulthood, the policy might change.
