I beat the system

At the college where I go to, we have curfews weekdays at 11 pm and weekends at 1 am, which is really stupid IMO. You have to swipe in when you enter the building after 11pm, and they do room checks. I figure if you're in college, you should know when you need to be back without someone telling you. Well, I decided to do something about.

They also allow us to submit electronic requests to go home for the weekend. I decided to submit one of these with these weekend's dates, except I changed the year on the end date to 2007. And guess what? It got approved. This means that I will not be flagged by the system for arriving late, and nobody will ever bother me about my curfew for the next year. It feels great.

i guess you have to be there to really understand it. you sure you're not in a prison or something??? :screwy:

Yea..that sounds more state penitentary type shit than college shit.

Yeah, I know. That's why I found a way out. I mean seriously, everyone is at least 18. Who cares what time you stay out until?

Bahahahaa.

*remembers being in a hall that had no lights out, no curfew, mixed floors (boys and girls)* Man, good times. Come and go whenever you please (although you did have to swipe in between 9pm and 7am just for security)

My college was up in the mountains of West Virginia... they didn't give a shit. We had no "security" other than the guns and knives we had on us... I'm not even kidding.

That's a wierd university. pretty anal if u ask me. Buffalo just had swipes from 10pm to 8am for security, but curfew? wtf is that? we'd be out around the residence halls playing football at 3 in the morning

haha,your in college and have babysitters.

Congrats on getting a way out. But seriously what the hell is up with your school? I have never heard of such a thing. The dorms here have a swipe thing (I dont live in the dorms but mine still opens the door anyway :boink:) but you dont get in trouble for going there late, thats just plain silly.

Is it some kind of religous school?

That is all I can figure...

I went to a Public University and lived in the dorms for 2 years. The first year, you only had to swipe your card to get in after 10pm... but it wasn't like that was your curfew or anything... it was just a security measure. Anyone who wasn't from the dorm was supposed to sign-in, but a lot of people just pretended they lived there. The second year some dumb ass came in and drew a gun on the Dorm Asst. so after that we had to swipe at all times of the day AND we had to carry these retarded color-coordinated card holders, so if your card holder didn't match the color for that dorm you had to sign-in like everyone else.

lived off campus...partied all the time and the RAs couldn't have cared less! :D

Yes it is...

Did you beat the system, or did you just make them aware of the flaw in the system?

god i hope the college i want to go to isnt like that. (which im pretty sure its not seeing as how it has night and day classes). but god damnit if I AM PAYING THEM, for an education, i damn well better be able to spend it as i please.

I didn't make them aware. I didn't even tell any of my friends that I see everyday.

I see you're in one of those deep thinking moods....

You submit an electronic request with a date exaggerated by a year, how do you know nobody looks at it?

Somebody did look at it and approve it. They just didn't notice that I changed the year. Otherwise it would not have been approved.
