The dorm regulations for winter break are a little different than during fall and spring semesters. All students have to be out of the dorms on Friday, Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. sharp unless they have paid the additional winter fees.If students want to continue living in the dorms over the five week break, they are required to pay a $400 fee. This is in addition to the $1500 that students are already paying for tuition to take one course during the winter session.
"$1500 is a little much for only five weeks of class, I think the winter tuition should be a third of that. I think the fee for those staying in the dorms is fair though because they are not charging for food," said Kyle Fraser, a Sophmore and Residential Assistant in building "N" of Parkside Commons.
If students have not left the dorms by 7 p.m. on Dec. 18, they will be locked out of their rooms. To get back in, they will have to pay the $400 fee.
"I think with the budget decreases it is unfair to charge students who are living in the dorms because at this time the economy is making many people low on money. It is just making more students have to leave the dorms," said Blake Matthews, a Sophmore and Communication major.
The dining hall will not be open and providing meals for those who choose to stay during winter break. There will also be limited security at the dorms during that time period.
