As of November 22 Gwynedd Mercy University will be ending cable in the resident’s rooms. However they will continue to have cable in the public lounges. The ending to cable in resident’s rooms is very harming because this doesn’t allow students to have privacy and alone time. College’s often forget that with everything being public or communal this can be very overwhelming for students due to them having a very long day filled with high amounts of work load.

I have been reading through the messages you all are sending about the need for private space to unwind after a heavy workload. It is exhausting to fight for something that should be a basic part of a student living environment, but I am not walking away from this.

Seeing this gain traction reminds me that I am not the only one feeling the weight of these changes. It has been exhausting to keep pushing against the administration but this momentum gives me the resolve to keep going.

Are they serious? I don't feel like going to a crowded lounge just to watch the game. Keep it in the dorms.

Cable is something factored into the cost of living at the university. This seems like a way to save money and using students privacy as a scapegoat.

This is ridiculous. We need our own space.

NOT COOL. After a 12 hour day I just want to sit in my own room and watch tv. Stop making everything communal.
