An Unfair Policy

By Kingsley
Published: June 6, 2008

Last Monday (May) , the DMC( Dorm Managing Center) has declared that students who live in the dormitory should move out before 6/23. On 6/14 to 6/23, you could move by yourself; and the examination dates are from 6/21 to 6/23. Every day from 9 AM. to 4 PM. is the time you can move out, except for twelve to 1 PM. The DMC also announced four things to pay attention to: to begin with, students should clean up their room before leaving and notify the DMC to register for room-checking. Furthermore, students should hand in the remoter to the air conditioner to DMC. Moreover, for those whom may live in the dormitory in summer vacation, they should move out before 8/31. Last but not least, if the date is expired, but they still live in the dorm, the DMC will clean out their properties.

To the best of my knowledge, I couldn’t agree with it less. I think school should do more things to help students move outside, not just give a date and do nothing. On the whole, the reasons why I have this opinion could be described as follows: at first, to find a new house is a big and hard work; students must waste their time and money on web-searching, cell-phone calling and the gas of riding a motorcycle from here to there. However, maybe they could find one at last or maybe none. In addition, the expiration date, 6/23, is also the last day of the final exam. Students won’t have sufficient time to find a new house or they won’t be well-prepared for the final exam. What’s more, in accordance with a survey, more and more college students think studying has been gradually replaced by doing the part-time job for the most important thing they should do. In order that they couldn’t afford the cost of renting a house and the tuition, they could only do more part-time job to make ends meet so that they don’t have enough time on studies.

Therefore, as far as I am concerned, I have some advices to suggest the school. In the first place, school should hold some speeches such as, how to find a new house or what things students should be careful while they are dealing with the owner of the house. Besides, they should give students much more time to move out. Schools should consider about the conveniences of students more. Finally, school should build another dormitory to let more students could live, not just give a date and say “move!” because they have new freshmen. I hope the school could consider about the students more and adopt some suggestion from the students.
