Georgetown social life

This crack down on Georgetown University is crazy. C0llege life is just not the same without the social scene. This does not mean that people have to go out every night and get wasted. But it also does not have to lead to people getting suspended for making a little noise on a Friday or Saturday night. There have been so many complains from neighbors in the area that "15 to 20 officers will be assigned to the residential neighborhoods near campus" said 2nd District Cmdr. Andy Solberg (qtd. in Kinzie). Kinzie explains that there are now newly enforced rules to limit size of parties within university housing. There is also a one keg limit for parties as well as having to registure a party before 10am on Thursdays (Kinzie B01). I feel like there would be better ways to crack down on the noise problems in the area instead of enforceing these rules on campus housing.

This crack down on parties is a great idea. The stop to underage drinking has to start somewhere. The university is only trying to "achieve a balance that promotes the safety and well-being of our students while fostering a vibrant social atmosphere on campus," said Jeanne Lord, associate vice president for student affairs (qtd. in Kinzie). In addition to enforcing these rules to provide a safer enviroment, the campus has also brought in somone to corrdinate events for the students night life (Kinzie).
