Western’s housing policies seem to inconvenience students who do not live within driving distance to Western or those who do not drive to school.

During winter break, spring break and the end of the year, it would be easier if dorm check out could be  extended, instead of checking out at 4 p.m. on Friday.  With advanced notice and permission, staying until Saturday afternoon is permitted, but even then there are still numerous situations where that extension is not significant.

Students who have finals on Friday, who have to wait until their parents come to pick them up and who are restricted to bus, train or plane as a means of returning home, are all under pressure to try to accommodate Western's restrictive policies. This is just another stress for students to deal with while trying to focus on finals.
